My sister has a heart of gold. She also happens to love hearts and anything with hearts on it, so I thought of her when I saw this gold heart necklace at Forever 21. Being a beader, of course, I couldn't leave it as-is. I had to make it my own! I thought about just using the heart pendant on a totally different necklace, but she loves necklaces that are long and simple, like this one.
Still, I had to put my touch on it! I removed the boring jump ring hanger and replaced it with a pretty, beaded eye pin and TierraCast bail. I tried a few different beads on the eye pin, but the proportions of the polymer clay Humblebeads disk and the gold double rondelles worked really well together, so I kept coming back to this combo. Besides, pink is her favorite color. Happy birthday, sis!
