A naturally formed heart-shaped stone, found along the bank of the Arkansas River, becomes the center of this handmade pendant. A bright piece of turquoise is set in a fine silver bezel, adding color against the earthy surface of the stone and darkened copper. Turquoise is known as a healing stone, offering powerful protection, emotional balance, and enhanced communication.
Handmade copper barbed wire wraps around the heart as a protective border, giving the piece both texture and meaning. Set on copper with a rich, aged finish, the pendant brings together found material, natural stone, and textured metal in a piece centered on the idea of protecting the heart.
