This "Window to Your Heart" locket is intricately wrapped in silver-coated wire with peach swarovski crystal and bronze-colored seed bead accents. This hollow locket gives the wearer a sense of openness and acceptance.

Some have said that the shape of the wrapping around the locket gives off the shape of a swan.
What do you see?

The top of the locket still unlatches to slide something inside, but the glass slides have been removed.

The pendant measures 4.5 centimeters from top to bottom while the locket measures 2x2 centimeters and hangs from a 16 inch silver-coated chain.

**History of the Materials**
The locket was bought on a whim during one of my "I need inspiration now" trips a few days ago. I was intrigued by how the locket opened and how (before I incorporated the wire) it held glass slides to allow the wearer to insert a photo of their own.

The peach swarovski's came from my "Celadon City" necklace of my "Classic Kanto" Pokemon line that is still in development. I loved the soft femininity of the color, reminding me of warm late spring days in Denver when the flowers would finally be in bloom after a long winter.

The bronze seed beads were used well over 10 years ago when my childhood friends and I made little picture frames for our friends from Canada that were moving back to Toronto after their father died. I found the sandwich bag of them (the bag deteriorated and full of holes) in the bottom of a craft box. I managed to fish out scattered beads over the years, haha..
