I think this is most exquisite! My heart pendants as with my crosses are a trademark to Lorraine Dowdle Creations© and exclusively my design that drew attention for the first time in LA 5 years ago.
Each and every one is utterly unique and so different from anything else I have ever seen. I teach my design and technique in my studio classes and just love seeing how my ladies/gents bring their pendants to life with a touch of themselves in it.
AWESOME STUFF!!!
I made this gorgeous heart glass bead(30mm x 25mm) out of Italian Murano glass and shaped it by eye and hand meaning no presses were used, only the grace of my flame and graphite paddle. I kiln annealed it overnight. Please read
here why Kiln Annealing is so important.
I called this piece Amore Heart
What makes it ultra unique is that there is only one lamp-work heart in the world like it. THIS IS IT!!
I encapsulated "Amore Heart" with hand wire work which I absolutely love doing and accented it with Swarovski crystals in Olivine and Ruby. The Swarovski Crystal in the stem of this pendant is a large 8mm Swarovksi .The necklace and accents are all bohemian and just compliment the over all look of this gorgeous pendant.
The necklace currently measures 80cm and the pendant measures 7cm.
I think this necklace looks fabulous when worn at this length and in all honestly looks dashing when worn at a much much shorter length as a neck accent. I will leave this up to you. Let me know which length you prefer. I will happily adjust it either way free of charge.
