Charlotte Penman Sacred Heart Necklace | 18k Gold

From Charlotte Penman's Clendon Collection, a companion piece to the iconic Sacred Heart Earrings. A hand-carved heart carrying the burning heart of Madonna, surrounded by small stars, hangs from a fine chain finished in an 18k gold plate, a motif of devotion and protection worn close to the body.

It rests at the collarbone with an extension for a longer drop, suited to wearing alone against skin or layered with other fine chains. For those who wear their symbolism quietly, a talisman as much as a necklace, chosen with feeling and kept for a long time.

Slight variation in surface finish is part of the handmade nature of the piece.
