This beautiful filigree heart measures 2" x 2" and features a center petal design with tiny charms along the bottom. It hangs from a 20" woven silver mesh chain 1/4" wide. These pieces are not marked that I can make out but both have tested at least 800 silver. The item came from an estate that had a lot of Mexican sterling so this may also be Mexican. A lovely vintage filigree piece.
FAQ - Sterling silver is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy metals. Pure silver is too soft to make into anything that will hold its shape. When silver comes in contact with other substances it will tarnish. To prevent tarnishing, it is best to store your sterling silver items in an airtight container or box when not in use but avoid anything containing rubber as it will hasten the tarnishing process. Plastic bags are also not recommended. Sterling can be cleaned just using warm sudsy soap and water but excess tarnish may require a professional tarnish remover. You can purchase anti-tarnish tabs online and at jewelry and department stores for use in storing your silver jewelry. Also See Mexican Sterling for Southwestern styles and use our "Search" on each page for additional sterling silver items.
Vintage sterling that is hand made will sometimes show evidence of tool marks or other hand worked markings. I try to describe any major repairs that I see in the item description and we usually will not clean the item unless it is needed to show the design. Unmarked items are acid tested for silver purity.

Most of our items are vintage unless we tell you otherwise. Therefore expect them to be in "Vintage" condition. This means normal wear and some softening of stone sparkle is to be expected. If either is in excess we will note it in our description. We do not thoroughly clean our items, leaving that to the preferences of the buyer, and if there are any serious problems, flaws or noticeable repairs, we will always try to note it in the description. Realizing that nothing can replace a "hands-on" inspection of an item, if you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, we will always accept returns or otherwise try to make you a satisfied customer. Our return policy can be found at the top of each item page.
If you ask us to hold an item for you and then change your mind about purchasing, please let me know so that we can remove the hold and release for sale. Thank you for shopping with us !
