Over the holidays a good friend commissioned me to make a necklace for his girl. He asked for something similar to the the Elsa Peretti open heart, but with my own twist, and maybe a turquoise. Above is the concept he chose for her. We decided to change the square wire, shown in the sketch to round, giving the necklace a more feminine look.
I gathered my materials: 12 Gauge sliver wire, 3mm turquoise stone, 18" of sliver chain.
Soldering up the heart
Here I've made the bezel setting for the turquoise, and am fitting the setting into the heart.
everybody's all soldered together.. time to set the stone!
The final product.
