This anatomically correct rendering of a human heart as a bronze pendant is a good reminder
that our hearts are strong, resilient muscles. In one of Barbara Kingsolver's books, a character
remarks how it's the liver that should be considered the fragile, "breakable" organ,
not the heart. Hearts are tough. In an average lifetime, a human heart will beat about 2 billion
times. In a year, your heart will pump over 2 1/2 million liters of blood throughout your body
(that's about 650,000 gallons). All this is from an organ about the size of your fist.
The bronze heart is paired with a thin 16" 12kt gold-fill curb chain necklace with spring ring
clasp.
If you love the design but would prefer it in sterling silver, see
your heart is a muscle (silver)!

The pendant and chain should be robust to most hard tugs and pulls, but a very sharp
yank could break the thin chain. As with
all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
