I sculpted this Ex Voto Heart Amulet from jewellers wax & had it cast into raw brass using the ancient-rooted technique of lost-wax-casting. A symbolises devotion, love, & gratitude.
CHOOSE YOUR CHARM: You can select the central amulet.
The chain & all of the metal details are made from 14ct Filled Gold - a thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto base metal. Filled gold is a more durable alternative to gold plate or vermeil.
This design is repeatable. I have enough of these recycled gemstones & castings to make a very small limited edition stash of them. They will vary ever so slightly due to the organic nature of the gemstones. I will match the colour palette & as many stones as possible.
Please allow me up to 2 weeks to make this before I wrap & post it out. It’s just a Roo in the studio.
Care:
If you've chosen a piece that has a mix of cast brass amulets on a gold filled or gold-rolled chain, you'll need to treat these elements differently when caring for your jewels. You'll recieve a small white polishing pad with your order to be used on the brass amulets. Please refrain from using this pad on the chain, its quite course and will affect the way your gold looks. The gold is pressure bonded onto the base metal surface, rather than just electroplated on the top. This gold bond is much thicker than plate, and the 14ct gold of this chain makes up 5% of the total piece.
Dispatch and delivery:
Please allow me up to 10 days to dispatch your jewel. Altered lengths may take closer to 2 weeks as I may need to order extra components.
