Brass,garnet and black pearl

This necklace is from my Love Hurts range, it is made of brass and is all handcut by my fair hands! I have used faceted garnet beads and black freshwater pearls, the pendant is a heart shape and there is a handcut brass heart hanging next to the clasp. I used longer garnet beads in the ‘chain’ of the necklace to echo the long brass pieces.
