This project is probably my favorite heart-shaped one of all. Sparkly goldstone, sterling silver, a unique design — what’s not to love? It was also created by one of my favorite designers, Lexi Erickson. And I happen to adore bolos. They’re very special pieces with a bit of a Southwestern feel. So if anyone is trying to think of a Valentine’s Day gift for me . . .
