Mysterious, luminous, and wonderfully dramatic, The Alchemist’s Elixir Heart Pendant is a one-of-a-kind creation by bead and jewelry artist Lydia Muell. The substantial heart-shaped focal bead is handcrafted in lampwork glass, beginning with a deep jet-black base layered with glowing surface lenses that shift from pale golden yellow to fiery orange. Amber-purple motifs, coppery-gold dichroic layers, black-and-gold twisted cane, and a deep garnet-toned flower create the enchanting appearance of a treasure conjured through ancient alchemy.
Above the heart, Lydia has created an elaborate hand-wrapped cluster of sparkling Swarovski crystals, cubic zirconia briolettes, and faceted black and white tourmaline. Each element is meticulously arranged and individually wrapped in sterling silver wire, with intricate coils and graceful layers that give the design remarkable dimension and movement. Sterling silver bead caps and an ornate sterling silver bail provide the finishing touches.
Rich with color, shimmer, and extraordinary handcrafted detail, The Alchemist’s Elixir Heart Pendant is a captivating work of wearable art. Its mysterious beauty and intricate craftsmanship make it a truly distinctive treasure.
The pendant measures approximately 2.75 inches long by 1.25 inches wide. The handmade focal heart bead is signed on the back with the artist’s initials.
