This handcrafted, hand formed fine silver necklace is very think and includes fine detail. The centered 3D solid heart has beautifully detailed 999 fine silver wings to help it fly. This piece is solid fine silver and not hollow so it is weighty and feels beautiful on. This is a perfect gift for the one you love or in loving memory.

How it's made:
Precious silver is 99.9% pure, making it more desirable and more expensive that sterling silver. It will also be much thicker than sterling giving it a beautiful wearable weight. Because it's so thick, it's worth far more than some of the other pendants you may see. It starts as a clay that can be molded, stamped and textured in any way imaginable. I roll the clay and weigh it for a uniform size. No 2 pieces will ever be the same. It will be perfectly imperfect with raw edges and a rustic, old world feel with texture lines. I then let it dry, sand it to smoothness, and fire in a kiln for approx 3 hours. Once fired, it is solid 99.9% pure silver. I then wire brush it, file and sand it some more and when I'm happy with the texture I oxidize the piece to leave dark in the low areas and to highlight the high areas. Finally it goes in a tumbler for a final glimmering polish and to add extra strength. Long 2-3 day process, Yes. But sooooo worth it!!
