A lovely heart shaped beach rock necklace pendant in a faux gold ... reminiscent of a day strolling along the beach ... jewelry from nature, sort of.

Heart-shaped rocks and pebbles are often associated with love, affection, and good fortune, and considered a sign of good luck or a special message from mother nature.
They are symbolic of resilience, transformation and growth … the erosion that grinds down their sharp edges and makes them smooth represent our ability to withstand hardships and challenges to emerge stronger.
Rocks and pebbles are unique, just as we are and their connection to the earth make them grounding and are symbolic of stability.

- approximate heart rock measurement: just over 5/8" width x 5/8" (17mm x 15mm)
- thickness at thickest part 3/8" (10mm)
- chunky and 3D all around, just like the rock from which it was cast
- rock metal - recycled sterling silver (.925 silver) mixed with bronze, an alloy I created to make this faux gold - shades may vary slightly, especially in different lighting conditions
- heart rock charm only
- shown suspended on a watch chain style chain with a dog clip, shown here
- photographed with a US dime and inch ruler for scale

I have sand cast a white quartz heart stone, as I found it in nature between the tides, in this alloy I created with sterling silver and bronze to look like faux gold. Then after cleaning up the casting I added the suspension loop and polished it up a bit to enhance the gold color.
The sand casting process - I create a mold in packed sand, torch melt the metal and pour it into the cavity of the sand mold. The cooled metal is then removed and the castings require quite a lot of clean up before being finished and fashioned into jewelry. It’s a process done one at a time, a new sand mold is made for each and every casting and therefore every item will vary uniquely with natural imperfections due to the sand casting process.
Hand crafted jewelry because I believe how it's made matters.

Elevate the ordinary!
