Knotwork Heart Pendant- a Celtic design

Description

Hearts stand for love, and this Knotwork Heart consists of a single strand interwoven into a large heart shape that itself contains three smaller hearts, and symbolizes the complexities and beauty of love's path in our lives.

This is an original design I created, using the techniques of the Celtic scribes of old to create this combination of the ancient and the modern.

I carved the original design in wax and cast it in silver. Each medallion is cast in sterling silver using the lost wax process and a mold made from my original master. The detail is accented with patination using liver of sulfur (a traditional technique that darkens the metal), then the surfaces are hand-polished to a soft, brushed shine. A sterling split ring is included to receive a chain or cord.

The medallion is 1.25 inch (32 mm) wide by 1.25 in (31mm) tall.

I also have this design available in bronze.

Each Knotwork Heart comes in a small box and includes a cord, an anti-tarnish square, and a small flyer about the design.
