Details

FORGED BY FIRE is a family business founded by husband-and-wife makers Tim and Melanie Clark in Greenville, South Carolina. Their jewelry uses recognizable symbols to honor personal stories and offer encouragement. They create pieces around faith, dignity and the value of giving someone a meaningful reminder that they are loved.

The Shining Heart places a heart at the center of a radiating circular design. Open spaces between the rays keep the central symbol visible and give the pendant a different look from a solid disc. The maker connects this pattern with kindness, compassion and love expressed through daily actions. Its one-inch diameter helps you compare its presence with a smaller charm before choosing a chain length.

Features
  • Heart-centered circular pendant with a radiating openwork design
  • A solid bronze pendant rather than a plated pendant.
  • Handcrafted design identified by the maker as made in Greenville, South Carolina.
  • Gift packaging is described as included by the supplier.
Specifications
  • Pendant: 1 inch in diameter.
  • Chain lengths in the imported options: 18, 20, 22 or 24 inches.
  • Chain: antique bronze curb.
  • Sold as one necklace in the selected configuration.
Materials

The pendant is described by the maker as solid bronze. The pendant material and the chain material are distinct; use the chain specification above when comparing options.

The maker describes casting, oxidizing and polishing its emblems to create an antique appearance. Natural patina changes the look of bronze and silver over time. A darker finish in recessed areas is part of the intended character; it does not by itself identify a different metal. This listing makes no hypoallergenic, nickel-free or waterproof claim.

Care

Keep the piece away from prolonged water exposure, swimming, showers and household chemicals. Apply perfume, lotion and hairspray before putting on the jewelry. Follow the maker’s included care card and use a polishing method suitable for the confirmed metal; an aggressive polish can change the dark detailing that gives the pendant its antique appearance.

Fasten the clasp before storing the piece and lay the chain so it will not tangle with other jewelry. Check the clasp and connecting rings periodically. Avoid pulling on the pendant or chain when removing clothing.

For general background, see the Gemological Institute of America’s jewelry care guidance. Product-specific instructions supplied with this piece take priority over general cleaning advice.

Shipping & returns
