LOVE in 15 languages antiqued copper heart necklace
This gorgeous necklace features a large heart hand stamped with the word LOVE on it in various languages.
AI - Chinese
AMOR - Spanish and Portugese
L'AMOUR - French
ESHGH - Persian
ASK - Turkish
LOVE - English
GRA - Irish
AMORE - Italian
LIEFDE - Dutch
EROS - Ancient Greek
PREMA - Sanskrit
AHAVA - Hebrew
AMARE - Latin
ISHQ - Arabic
After stamping the words (with the appropriate accents), I hammered and textured the heart. Then I attached a beautiful, highly detailed handmade polymer clay rose for an added dash of romance and strung the pendant onto a solid copper rollo chain with a lobster clasp.
I put the necklace through an antiquing rainbow patina process to add depth to the designs and hand polished it to bring out the details. The flashes of fabulous colors can be seen when the light hits the pendant at different angles.
The photographs have not done complete justice to the entire beauty of this necklace!
Length of chain (including clasp): approximately 14 1/2 inches (37.5 centimeters) and can be increased upon request.
Heart size: 1 7/8 inch (4.8 centimeters)
Rose size: 10 mm
