This is the latest version of our Hand Crafted Sterling Silver Heart Pendants.

Sorry but this one isn’t for sale. We made this as a display piece for a friend who is interested in selling our stuff for us. I just thought this necklace and earring set was kind of pretty so I’m posting it here for everyone to see.

I’ve been doing this for about 2 weeks now with the heart pendants. They’re getting better. I have started using 16 gauge 925 sterling for the heart itself with high quality sterling silver layered artistic wire for embellishments.

I’ve been seeing lots of gold and silver designs lately and they’re awesome looking. I am going to try using gold filled wire for the embellishments on these hearts very soon. I think that will put an interesting (and beautiful) twist on the design.

Shirley gave me the idea for this design. She loves heart pendants and she suggested I try to make one using wire and this is what we have so far.

These take about 45 minutes each to make counting the time to cut the chains and connect them. If I make a set of earrings to go with it them it takes about fifteen or twenty extra minutes so that makes it a little over an hour for the whole set.

Making the heart shape is kind of tricky. I like to make my hearts lopsided as Shirley calls it. I think they’re prettier that way. It makes them look kind of calm and relaxing.

The wire wraps take the longest and they are really rough on the ol’ fingers. Then setting up the beads comes in second for eating up time.

We just put a few of these up over at the shop with pictures if you wanna go check ‘em out.

I have some video equipment laying around here somewhere and we’re thinking about making a video showing how to make these hearts step by step so if you’d be interested in something like that then throw us a comment and tell us to do it. Then subscribe to the blog so you don’t miss that day. It’ll probably be a month or two away.

We are planning on having a Jewelry making Workshop soon with some of our friends so maybe we can get some video then and share it with you guys too.

So stay tuned
and thanks for looking
Bill & Shirley
