All Heart Challange: "Amethyst Love"
About this design:
My second piece for "All Heart Challange". Heart made of rescued wire from another project (the thick wire). Amethyst gem and Czech in both heart and linkchain. It's a long necklace but if you dare to have the clasp in front then one can have it double.
Components:
Amethyst, Amethyst Czech, Artistic Wire, Vintaj Peanut Chain, Vintaj Jump Rings, Vintaj Lobsterclasp. All but the reused wire is from LB.Additional Images:

Julie Shane says:Magnificent! I can’t even describe how much I love love love this!
I’m just beginning my wirewrapping and I’m so impressed and intimidated by what you’ve created!!! I yearn to be like you.
The long chains make it so fresh and versatile.

Crazy Chick Frida says:Thank you Jolene, Medievel Momma, Asia, Susie, Franny, Julie and Kadie
Feeling more confident after your kind words 
Julie you absolutly not have to be intimidated by my work, I kow out of what I have seen you create that you will be great!! Remember to play and dare do make errors
Kadie, I’m not either a typical heart wearing girl, so this challange was fun, though the other heart I made is maybe more something I could wear!
