Brass Medallion with White Pearls, Brass Beading and Box Chain.

In the spirit of embracing the creative forces in all of us, Vanessa Mooney and fashion blogger Claire Geist have come together to design a piece that both embraces and promotes the right to expression. In a correspondence that spanned across two ends of the country, Claire and Vanessa discovered their mutual love for spiritual and cultural symbols from all over the world. The result of their collaboration is inspired by the something as simple as a heart, a symbol that takes on many different forms all over the world as a symbol for strength, love and spirit. By setting together the power of the medallion with the delicate faceted pearls, the Sacred Heart Necklace evokes beauty in strength.

In an effort to help make the world a better place for creative minds everywhere, a portion of the proceeds made from the necklace will go to Artists For Human Rights (AFHR), a non-profit organization committed to upholding the Declaration of Human Rights and making the world a better place to live in through creative expression. Art is an incredibly powerful force in the world, and through creation comes new life, new culture, and a greater peace. With the Sacred Heart necklace, the power is around your neck.
