Simple heart pendant

[Nick martin]

Hi all,

Here's a collage of pics showing a recent simple heart pendant I made recently.

The customer sent me 8 silver 'love tokens' to melt down into the pendant.

Basically in the 17th century a love token was a silver sixpence of William III. A romantically inclined fella bent one edge and handed it to his potential sweetheart. If she accepted his advances then she bent the other side, so the coin ended up with an S shaped profile.

So.. 8 separate love stories from the 1600's repurposed into a nice anniversary gift for his wife who was pleased as punch. Anyway here's the pics.

The box itself was also handmade out of mahogany that I had lying about.

Cheers,

Nick
