Vintage Heart Necklace

This beautiful Heart Necklace is re-purposed from a Vintage Brighton Chain belt that was full of hearts. The heart is filled with 13 small Swarovski crystals and a large crystal in the center as well as a large crystal charm. The 20" chain is vintage Brighton rolo chain that I have embellished with vintage Brighton beads and authentic turquoise and pearl beads, It closes with a lobster clasp and a 1" extender. Brighton's buckles, jewelry and other Brighton silver accessories, are cast in solid brass or zinc, and then dipped in pure silver. Since silver has a natural tendency to tarnish (oxidize) and scratch, Brighton has added a protective layer of lacquer. One thing good about having a lacquer coating is that it never tarnishes and it makes it very resistant to scratches. ✨✨✨CARE INSTRUCTIONS: To keep your jewelry shiny and beautiful, please avoid harsh detergents, Swimming pool, seawater and perfume & lotion. Please bear in mind that this is silver plate and may occasionally need to be buffed with a soft cloth to keep its shine. Keeping it wrapped in a cloth bag will also protect from tarnishing. Always put your jewelry on last and take it off first.
