hi all .
I'm just wordering how do I make this (I know how to make the stone bit )
but how do I make this heart shape bit , would I do it in silver wire ??

If you made the heart in silver wire you would have to do one hell of a lot of filing and sanding and shaping.

ok . so how would I make the heart shape bit ???

You will have to have some regard to how to attach the finished bit to a chain - not shown in the picture.

People much more skilled than I would carve the whole in wax and send it off to a caster.

I guess I would start from a couple of pieces of wire as others have stated. The stone setting is fair enough, but you will have to think about the assembly sequence so that you do the first joints in hard solder, and the bail in soft solder, rather than have the whole lot collapse when doing the last joint.

Like Neil, I think the one shown has been cast.
