This inspirational heart ring has an open heart at the center of the band, and is handmade with a solid sterling silver 16 gauge ring band. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I create each heart ring by hand from start to finish using sterling silver wire to create the heart and solder everything to a sturdy sterling silver ring band. Each ring is created with solid sterling silver, by hand, by me, here in the USA. Not each heart may look exactly as the sample image but each will come with its own unique and handmade feel. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Shipping & Processing Speeds Because each item is made by hand upon order, please check processing speeds to see how long it will take for your unique item to ship.
