950 Platinum wire is woven by hand, off loom using Soumak, an ancient rug-weaving technique named for the city (Shemakha) in Azerbaijan in which it originated. The flat platinum "fabric" is shaped into a 3-dimensional, sculptural form that becomes a pendant. The Heart is available in 3 sizes, in either platinum or high karat gold. Wear yours short or long, on your favorite neckwire, chain or ribbon. (c) Barbara M. Berk Photo: Robert Weldon
