My birthstone necklace - being born in January never looked so good...
My anatomical heart, beautifully hand-carved and lovingly detailed.
A deep, rich red garnet, skillfully wrapped in sterling silver wire. Glistening like a splash of fine wine, a bead of blood...
The heart itself is as anatomically correct a heart as you'll find, lovingly detailed, meticulously finished. Every artery and valve, every atrium and ventricle are captured in this pendant, and it hangs from a ring which itself loops through the aorta. Perfectly balanced - as original and complex as the amazing heart it represents.
Next to the heart, a AAA grade micro-faceted garnet, skillfully wrapped in oxidized sterling silver wire. Symbolizing the lifeblood, the passion, the fire within.
The heart is completely 3 dimensional, cast in the finest white bronze and plated in silver. The heart is 25mm long (not including the jump ring) and about 14mm at its widest point, and the wire wrapped garnet approximately 10mm.
I've hung them both on a 24" gunmetal chain which looks great - the understated fire of the garnet really contrasts beautifully with the silver and black . If you'd like a different chain length, or indeed a different colour, just let me know.
This is a collaboration between Lost Apostle and the craftsmanship of Irina who made the lovely wire wrapped garnet. You can find more of her beautiful work in her Etsy shop - https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/AliraTreasures
