Yes it's another Hammered Heart. Made by cutting out a brass heart with a heart shaped hole in it (used the off-cut from the previous riveted heart pendant below). I then annealed it, hammered it quite hard all over, and soldered it to a piece of copper, similarly annealed and hammered. After soldering I hammered it some more from behind then cut out the outside heart shape. Smoothed it polished it,hammered it to make it rounded/hollow backed, then did some antiquing using liver of sulphur, then some more polishing and buffing.
