Pearly Marble Heart

Description

So in my last foray of marble-purchasing I went to the place where I get all the oddball discards. This is a piece of pearly white marble slag (melted marble glass) that melted into the perfect shape of a heart. So I wanted to emphasize the heart-ness of the shape, but I wonder if the gold is too much? I feel like it's obscuring too much of the marble on the one hand, but the shape of the crochet turned out so well I'm hesitant to break it off and try again. Also the chain turned out a little longer than I would like (18 inches instead of 16 inches like I usually do) but I'm wondering if that doesn't balance the size of the marble better (it's about 1 1/2" wide.) Opinions?

My original design, copyright me 2013. One of a kind design featuring glass marble slag crocheted into gold poly-nylon lame thread, accented with faux pearls and fastens with a gold lobster-claw clasp. Will be available at AWA 2013, if it doesn't sell there will probably turn up in my Etsy shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/SavingGraces
