MENDED HEART WAS INSPIRED BY A VALENTINE SHELL FROM THE PHILIPPINES . IT IS 3.4 mm LONG AND 3 mm AT IT’S WIDEST POINT. IT WEIGHS 28.2 GRAMS AND IS MADE FROM .999 FINE SILVER. THE FRONT SIDE HAS ALL THE NATURAL MARKINGS OF THE VALENTINE SHELL, WHICH SHOWS A HEART WITHIN A HEART, WITHIN A HEART, ETC. I HAVE INSCRIBED THE BACK OF THE HEART FOR ADDED BEAUTY. I TRULY BELIEVE THE SIDE THAT HANGS AGAINST YOUR SKIN SHOULD BE EVERY BIT AS INTERESTING AS THE FRONT! IT HANGS FROM A 20 INCH STERLING SILVER SNAKE CHAIN.
