This sculpted heart pendant features a dangle with a emerald colored Swaovski crystal bead, the color of May birtstones. The artist, B.Burkett, sculpted the pendant with a coil and loops of twisted sterling silver wire, that sparkles as it moves. It is 1 1/8 inch long, including the bail and is 1 inch wide. The round Swarovski crystal bead is 6mm in diameter, a size that is larger than most birthstone jewelry. Swarovski crystal beads, made in Austria, have the reputation for being the best quality in the world. These lead crystals are certified safe for wear by adults but are not intended for children under 12 years old. This would be the perfect birthstone jewelry for you or a gift for a loved one's birthday or Christmas gift.

A 16 inch snake chain is included.

About Swarovski Beads
Swarovski Elements are like no other being perfectly cut with precise angles and finished with special polishing techniques. One can spot their brilliance among other glass beads immediately. They are made by a process that is a closely guarded secret and cut in an electric glass cutting machine developed by Daniel Swarovski and patented in 1892. In my opinion they are the best quality crystal beads you can own. Swarovski crystal beads contain lead and are not suitable for children's jewelry therefore this jewelry is not for sale for children's wear.

Care of your B. Burkett Jewelry
Use a polishing cloth to remove tarnish on the sterling silver or gold filled jewelry. If the piece is very dirty wash it with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Rinse with clean running water and dry with a soft cloth. Don't use a sonic cleaner, boiling water or commercial jewelry cleaners. Put on your jewelry after you have applied make up, hair spray and perfume. Remove it while swimming or doing strenuous activities.

With care your Mother's or grandmother's pendant designed by B.Burkett will be a keepsake that will always be treasured.

Birthstone jewelry is my favorite to design, knowing that it is for a special person with a special birthday. The history of birthstones is believed to have begun when it was recorded in the Bible, in the book of Exodus, that Aaron wore a breastplate set with twelve stones.that represented the twelve tribes of Israel. Some people believed that the stones had special powers so they began to assign each stone to a particular month.
