Description
This elegant pendant features two white gold hearts strung along a box chain, with contrasting finishes to accent the delicate shape. It was created for a client from Switzerland who was visiting Seattle on business and wanted to have this specially made to surprise his wife when he returned home. It was to be a replacement for a favorite necklace that was stolen from their home, and he shared many photos of the original with us so that we could ensure every detail of the new piece was exactly right.

Pendant Design
The two hearts that make up this pendant are both made of 18k white gold, and they’re intertwined so that they stay together while still moving freely on the chain that passes through them both. One heart is also slightly smaller than the other, and this one features a bit of a curve towards the bottom, while the other maintains straighter lines coming down to the point.
Both hearts appear to be formed from a squared band that’s folded and twisted around on itself. This was one of the details the client was particularly concerned with capturing perfectly, and he made a model for us to show the lines in greater detail than could be seen in the photos.
Contrasting Finishes
On his model, he was also able to point out the spots where the piece needed to have a brushed finish that gradually faded into the high polish covering the rest of the pendant. This is on the front of each heart on the left hand side, beginning at the point and transitioning as it moves up towards the top.
His model and instructions allowed us to communicate to our expert artisans exactly how to apply these contrasting finishes. Although it’s a subtle detail, the contrast helps highlight the curvature and form of the hearts, and it adds extra complexity to the design without being overpowering.
