Designer donates special Heart Pendants to the recession victims

European designer and sculptor Petra Alazar has created the Magnetic Jewelry Collection with iconic symbolist designs.

Her art is a language that is spoken from soul to soul… the inaudible language of Love. “…one day soon we all will judge each other by the depth and beauty of our souls and not by the color of our skin…” Petra Alazar said.

The unique jewelry concept Petra calls United Heart is offering the first and only necklace that can be conveniently closed in front. Beautiful and yet easy to put on.

Thirteen fine jewelers will each give away 100 of jewelry designer Petra Azar’s “United Heart” pendants to people who have either lost their job or their home in areas of Chicago, Detroit and the Midwest hit hardest by the recession. According to the designer, this is “a concerted effort to demonstrate unity and compassion”.

The United Heart pendant is composed of sterling silver with a magnet drawing the heart’s two halves together as a metaphor for the “Magnetic Power of Love.” It has a retail value of $199.

…”The United Heart collection is based on one of my better known bronze sculptures. With it I wanted to create a wearable piece of art that would inspire thoughts and conversations about love, equality, and friendship.
A Talisman to protect our ability to love and be loved and a metaphor for the magical power of attraction, not only between a man and a woman, but for the love we have for our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends regardless of race, gender, culture or religion.”

The designs are diverse and of extraordinary classic beauty. All have in common their exquisite craftsmanship and are engraved with the original signature of the artist.
