(Item # SHL-LP52)
The shell pendant is etched in black, and I decided to work it in a Gothic fashion, with deep coral red Swarovski crystal and fringy sterling silver that I oxidized to a black patina. I love how the tiny 4mm crystals flutter from the fringe of the chain, don't you?
I made a matching clasp out of oxidized sterling silver and another coral red Swarovski crystal - very simple since the chain is so elaborate. All in all, I'm a big fan of Valentine's Day, and I love hearts, but I like the non-traditional, and this piece fits the bill.Head on over to ArtBeads.com to see what else they have for Valentine's Day!

Pretty! I love the etched pattern on the pendant, and the contrast of the chain and red crystals.
Oh how I love that!
This is a beautiful Lori, the black patina really makes the piece pop!!
Love the play of the chain with the crystals and pendant. The patina on the chain and findings is a really nice contrast with the red beads and picks up nicely on the black in the pendant.
Nice! I really love it
What a unique heart! And you did a great job with it..... very pretty!
Lori - I just love this piece! Did you make the chain as well? I've never seen one that is so 'fringy'. The heart pendant you chose is festive without being overbearingly sweet, which makes the whole piece very interesting and fun - well done! Artbeads is lucky to have you on their team!

very nice Lori!! I really like the end results!
I really love the mixture of red, your smoky patina, and the silver!
Hi Lori
Wow, this truly is a stunning, non-traditional piece (in sort of a traditional way)! I like the way you think...mixing the dramatic colors and oxidized chain (and by the way, that chain is really cool too). I agree, really like those dangly crystals.
So cute Lori, and I love the etching. Take care, Martha
Perfect valentines day gift for your lover or spouse. The pendant looks awesome
Oh that looks so sweet, perfect for V Day.

Love that heart and most especially what you've created with it!
