Sophie and Eisenheim first meet as teenagers, and Eisenheim gives her a wooden pendant, in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. The pendant twists on the diagonal to form a heart shape. Then the heart slides apart to reveal a photo.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nvKWNyp5bbI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I enjoy creating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/store\/products.php?product=Chicken-in-Egg-Necklace\" target=\"_blank\">complicated mechanical jewelry<\/a> but the movie version is over the top.

As with many of my historically inspired pieces, the design isn&#8217;t a literal interpretation of anything associated with Hatshepsut. It&#8217;s more about what I feel the lady in question might have enjoyed if she had our current-day jewelry-making technology.<\/p>\n<p>This necklace is even more exclusive than the Sophie. While I made and sold several silver versions, I only made one in gold, so whoever gets this beauty will have a totally one-of-a-kind piece.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about either of these designs, holla at me at info at wendybrandes dot com. They&#8217;re both available to be delivered in time for Valentine&#8217;s Day. And, hey! If you decide to self-gift, I think Hatshepsut would totally approve.
