A colorful necklace/body ornament formed from machine-knitted flattened copper wire woven and braided that extends to varying lengths. The piece rests on the shoulders giving the wearer a v-neck effect. The garment-like ornament is embellished with a large circle within a circle form that falls central to the heart. Eight long streams of material in different lengths hang from the weaving. Silver embellishments dangle from the ends of the streams becoming sources of sparkle as they reflect light during wear.
