Sagrado Corazon Secret Vessel Necklace

Lyra looked toward the old mansion on the hill, daydreaming of weathered stucco visions of the Virgin of Guadalupe, candlelight and the smell of marigolds in the air...

______________________________________








A highly detailed vessel in the shape of a sculpted Sacred Heart. Iridescent Stained Glass adorns the front of the heart, and serves as a window to whatever you may place inside. Secret messages, dried flowers...

(there is a small hollow in the center of the heart, accessible by an opening at the top of the pendant)

Necklace is made up of faceted iridescent swarovski beads on an antiqued chain.

Pendant is @ 1 1/4 wide, @ 2 long including bead drop.
Necklace is @ 18 1/2 but can be worn shorter.

Newport Belle


Lyra wished to know what was behind the shining leaded windows of the tower and crept closer, trying not to tread on the moss as she went up the walk…
