This shadow-box style pendant showcases a vibrant sanguine garnet and a real succulent cast in sterling silver, so the natural forms and textures are preserved; on the back hides a hand-sawn and detailed anatomical heart. The facets of the rosecut garnet allows it to capture light from all angles, resulting in a spectacular flash of color. The silver has been oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. The pendant measures 1.1" tall and 0.75" wide at the widest point. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.

A few notes on caring for sterling silver jewelry: like fine silver, sterling silver does tarnish over time. Exposure to chemicals can affect the appearance on silver (like hair dye, pool chlorine, some soaps, etc.). It is not recommended to wear sterling silver jewelry while bathing or swimming for this reason. If it tarnishes, sterling silver jewelry can be cleaned with cleaning cloths or solutions that are labeled as being safe for silver. Cleaning sterling silver can also remove oxidized patina applied to the piece, so use caution when cleaning if there is desired oxidized patina.
