This is a pretty heart shaped keychain attachment made out of Gaboon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora).  This is one of the blackest ebony available.  Hard, heavy wood that polishes up to a great shine.  This is one deep, dark, enigmatic heart!
The heart was cut free-hand and then hand sanded to a smooth, contoured surface, with just an oil/wax finish.  It is equipped with antique bronze hardware, ready to dangle.  Due to this manual process, each heart is unique. Also due to this manual process, I do not offer hearts very often.  It's too much exercise for me with all that sanding and polishing!  But I know, a natural, simple, meaningful, unique heart is hard to find, so here is a collection for your Valentine.  It is also good to carry a piece of real wood with you just in case you need to "knock on wood" to prevent jinxing yourself, since nowadays, with all those "alternative" materials, finding a piece of real wood could be a challenge.  And, of course, it is a perfect gift for that special someone who hold the key to your heart!
