Wire Heart Pendant

From the desginer: "This Wire Heart Pendant is a beautiful handmade piece that blends simplicity with sentiment, perfect for gifting or treating yourself. Using minimal supplies such as 18-gauge jewelry wire, memory wire, teardrop and small round beads, and a chain or necklace base, you’ll spend roughly 30 minutes creating something that feels special. The design begins by bending and looping wire ends into decorative twirls to form a heart, and then flattening it gently with a hammer for structural stability. The lower section is wrapped with coiled memory or beading wire, threaded through with a few beads, then finished with a teardrop bead and accent seed bead for a final touch. Because it’s handmade yet durable, this pendant works well for everyday wear or for special moments. It’s ideal for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s gifts, or as something meaningful just because. One of my best tips: ensure all wire ends are tucked or trimmed cleanly, and flatten the heart on a hard, level surface so the pendant lays flat when worn. Also, choosing contrasting colors for the beads or adding metallic wire gives the piece an extra touch of elegance."
