Congrats to Deb Soromenho on becoming a semi-finalist in our Jewelry Design Challenge! Does this sterling silver necklace have a place in your heart?

This is ADORABLE, and the name makes it that much cooler! Looks very well made, and price is more than reasonable for being sterling silver. I'd buy!

Like it, but 1) the "arrow" looks like an anchor, they need to fix the tail of the arrow to look like feathers, and 2) it's probably worth it at half the price you want to charge. But it looks like it is sending a message of a heavy heart :-(

I love it! I love the fact that it doesn't look all "perfect" and that the arrow doesn't look exactly like an arrow - that's what makes it unique and handcrafted! I'd say the price is perfect for sterling silver.

I own a lariat style necklace and find it the easiest to put on for daily wear. This one seems to be fun and with a classic design of heart and arrow.

I love it. And considering it's handmade by an artisan with sterling silver instead of factory made in China with a lesser metal, I say it's worth the price.

I think for the price, it looks cheap. The design is a GREAT idea, but it needs to be modified if it's going to be sold at that price. I agree with the others that the arrow looks like an anchor, and the heart just doesn't look very nice.

The "arrow" looks like a ship's anchor, mostly because of the horizontal bar at the top of the arrow. Also, the price is too high. But I really love the idea of this necklace.

Hi all! --Thank you for all your votes and comments! I totally respect differing tastes and point of views. --I did want to point out though that the arrow has been redesigned since this photo was taken. I realized that it was a little "anchor" looking and the new arrow is much more "arrow" looking, if you know what I mean, lol. Here's a photo of the new design: http://tinyurl.com/3mx6okx

The arrow looks more like a male and female symbol. I like that the chain goes through the heart and hang, though.

It looks elegant and unique. But I would want the arrow to look more arrow-y... it looks more like an anchor right now! Nonetheless, it's adorable.

Lovely, and special because it's hand forged. Reasonably priced, given the rising costs of sterling silver.

I like this! And actually, I really like the arrow in the photo -- it speaks to me as "love anchoring" and grounding. I like the new arrow design, too. As for price...it seems right on target to me. Sterling silver is so expensive right now. Plus, this is artisan hand forged, handmade. No contest compared to factory-made silver-plated drek!

As the owner of herfavouritethings, i would never be able to sell this. 10 out f 10 for the idea, 0 out of 10 for the execution.The heart is wonkey, the arrow looks like an anchor. i'd say take the idea back to the drawing board.

It looks like an imitation of a an imitation of a trendy accessory. And much over priced for what you get.

Beautiful! You gotta appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship that goes into a piece like this. I don't know about any one else but for me, an inspired design like this means so much more than some 'cookie cutter' creation. If price is the determining factor in your jewelery selections, may I suggest www.walmart.com!!!

I don't like the arrow, it looks too much like an anchor, which doesn't send the message I'd want to send. The concept is good, though.

Hi everyone, This is Deb, the designer. --I just wanted to point out that the arrow has been redesigned since this photo was taken. (I mistakenly sent in an older photo). The arrow has been redesigned since then and is much more "arrow" looking! -- Also the heart is only 1" tall, it's deceiving because it's on a small bust display! Thanks! :)
Elizabeth
Doesn't appeal to me, it seems faddish, and more for teens than adults. a lso too expensive. Agree that the arrow needs feathers.

What a generic thing to do...really, Bon Jovi inspired you to make this necklace? REALLY!? With all the possible inspiration in the world and you result to Bon Jovi...really? PS>the arrow does look like an anchor...which makes me think something is weighing down my heart...not to keen on that.
