About this design:
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Since this is a pendant, I categorized it as "necklace", not sure if that is where it belongs.

Robin nursechick says:NK- what a beautiful pendant! I love it- you definitely need to put in to a necklace the stones are gorgeous as well as your wiring. What came to my mind was sweet love , still protected by boundaries. I known that seems odd, but it’s what I thought. Love it!

Crystal Canary says:Beautiful pendant! I especially like how the wire flares out around the sides and gently comes down to the point. This will look wonderful as a centerpiece of a necklace. Lovely!
