DESCRIPTION:
Anchored from a wide tapered hand made bale is a good size HEART that is fully encrusted with hand soldered beads of sterling that surround the 5 crosses. The beads vary in size,with most being in the 4 mm range..It's size is not 'Over the Top",but because of all the beads & the gauge of sterling Akee used,gives this a pretty hefty weight for it's size! Personally the pendant has a heavenly look,where the beads look more like a night of twinkling stars & the crosses give it,it's spiritual theme..
The bale is designed in it's entirety & has just over a 13 mm opening & will fit UP TO a 13.5 mm Navajo Pearl bead. Just so you know,the smaller beaded necklace you put this on, the more the pendant can move & breath..(I carry many millimeter sizes & different lengths of Navajo Pearls if you need something to hang this from. Because of it's size,I think personally no more than a 24" looks best with this size pendant..(But that's your call!)
Would make a fabulous gift from the "Heart"! Say it with LOVE!!!

To give you close up photos,pictures tend to look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how it looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please either check it out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 2) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
