I love making stone hearts! Its another way of showing my love for rocks.
 Here are a few I recently did, both from ThunderEggs. Hope you enjoy them, and thanks for looking!

This is the stone that Dick was refering too now with his setting design. The chain is just to show how it looks with one on it, but I think it turned out fantastic!! The little loop attaching to the jump ring (not soldered together) almost looks like a little heart to me.
What do you think Dick? Hopefully its exactly what you imagined it would look like. Dan and I wish you both a very happy 43 anniversary with many more wonderful memories together to come! Hopefully she loves it just as much as I do!!  Picture with flash  Picture without flash

Yes, I think it turned out extremely nice.
 The jump ring works real well, because it gives the heart enough clearance from the chain that it looks like the heart is just placed there all by itself. When you look at it, the chain doesn't pull your eye away from the heart and distract from it's beauty. I am really looking forward to seeing it in person, because I'm sure that the picture doesn't have the ability to show it's true beauty. I have not seen a piece that stands out the way that heart does. I was looking for something that was unique and I sure think I found what I was looking for. You both did a masterful job making this heart, and I know that my wife will love it and cherish it as a special gift. Thanks more than words can say.
