Chunky, Funky Heart Necklace

Chunky, Funky Heart NecklaceTammy Powley
This necklace design was inspired by the thought of Valentine's Day and by this Caymanite heart pendant. I wanted to create a design that had a Valentine theme, but that was not the traditional pink or red heart design.

Oriental Gold Necklace
