This necklace is neither old, nor borrowed. The bail design is new (and custom-designed to fit Swarovski heart pendants!), and the crystal heart is many sparkling shades of blue. For more heart beads and pendants, visit our "St. Valentine's Day" page.

Quick tips from the designer:
Assemble the crystal and bail. Remove clasp from chain, and reserve for another project. Adjust chain length to suit personal taste. Attach toggle clasp to chain re-using jump rings that came on chain.Use round jump rings to attach the bailed heart to the toggle loop.
