Pattie Parkhurst
Each handmade heart is lovingly created with approximately eight hours of labor using a flat sheet of gold or silver, hammer hundreds of times over an antler-like shape, and forging the metal to create a one-of-a-kind organic heart. These three HEART pendants, the heart symbol encompasses everything from love, compassion, and understanding to being synonymous with affection. Pattie represents these Hearts as compassion for each other during tough times.
This nature inspired necklace is made of Argentium tarnish resistant.955 silver with sweeping arms softly forming a heart shape. Each form is hand raised using hundreds of blows with a hammer which creates a unique, one of a kind three-dimensional shape that is actually light weight, but looks much heavier. (Other metal options available including 14k gold, 18k gold, and 22k gold.) Call for quote.
