{"product_id":"the-thornfire-heart-gothic-flame-barbed-wire-choker","title":"The Thornfire Heart — Gothic Flame \u0026 Barbed-Wire Choker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe shutter was halfway down when Luna spotted \u003cstrong\u003eThe Thornfire Heart\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003esilver-tone gothic heart choker offered with flame-shaped links or a barbed-wire-style chain\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its open heart spread into sharp, sweeping points, a small cross-shaped detail held at its center. Behind it, somebody was trying to close an Ironspire workshop with everything still inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“We’re finished,” the woman beneath the shutter said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuna put one boot under the descending edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“You’re catching your stock.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA display cord had looped around the shutter’s lower hook. Another turn of the crank would drag the necklaces into the mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman looked down. Stopped winding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere beyond the roofs, the Great Forge struck its next enormous note. The sound came through the soles of Luna’s boots. Here, in the narrow streets below the forge district, even closing time happened to the rhythm of somebody else’s hammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Lift,” Luna said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“It won’t.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe looked at the crooked shutter, then at the woman’s hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“When did you last oil that?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“When did you last mind your business?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuna smiled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally. Someone reasonable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe crouched, took the display’s weight in one hand, and worked the cord loose with the other. The flame-link necklace slid across her palm, each little tongue of metal turning independently. Beside it hung the second version: twisted, thorn-like links leading to the same fierce heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot two pendants. Two ways of reaching the same one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Pass those here,” the woman said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuna did. Then she stood, planted both hands beneath the shutter, and pushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt moved three inches with a shriek that made a passing porter swear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Lovely voice,” Luna said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“You should hear it in winter.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman wedged a wooden block beneath it. With room to work, Luna could see what had happened. A bent strip of metal had slipped into the runner, jamming the shutter crooked. She braced the frame while the woman eased it free with pliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strip came loose suddenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shutter dropped onto the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey both stood still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen the woman looked at Luna’s boot, which she had withdrawn just in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Good reflexes.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Expensive boots.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe workshop opened again for approximately six minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside were trays, tools, a cold cup of something Luna declined to identify, and a stool whose fourth leg had been repaired with considerably more confidence than accuracy. The woman laid both chokers on a dark cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Which?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuna touched the flame links. Their cutout shapes carried the design all the way around, bright edges and dark spaces, movement repeating movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen the thorned chain. Narrower. More spare. The heart looked almost defiant at its center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Both.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“For yourself?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“For a shop.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman glanced at Luna’s jewelry, her black clothes, the chain at her hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Of course.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuna paid the asking price. The woman counted it, removed two coins, and pushed them back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“For the shutter.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Buy oil.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe pushed them back again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman studied her, then dropped the coins into a separate jar beneath the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Oil,” she agreed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the market lamps were coming on. Luna walked past the turning that led toward District 9, where she had learned long ago that \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/the-rebels-spine-the-chain-of-district-9\"\u003ea chain could tell you plenty about the person wearing it\u003c\/a\u003e. Tonight, for once, she had acquired hers without crossing a rooftop gap or refusing to explain a bruise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe was rather pleased about that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Pedlar’s Attic, Chelle found her arranging the two chokers beneath the display lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“A quiet trip?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Extremely.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChelle glanced at the fresh scrape across Luna’s knuckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Shutter,” Luna said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Did it deserve it?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuna looked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChelle was already smiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe put the flame-link version beside the thorned one and turned both hearts toward the glass. Two different tempers. Neither pretending to be gentle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth leaving the center open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIronspire has plenty of hard edges.

The other uses twisted barbed-wire-style links. Both feature the same open-heart centerpiece with its small cross-shaped detail. Match your selection to the variant photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the order include both necklaces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers two design options. Choose the individual style you want rather than assuming that both necklaces are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a leather choker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo leather band is shown. This design uses a linked chain with a silver-tone appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it sterling silver or stainless steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither material has been verified for this listing. Silver-tone describes its appearance, not precious-metal content or a confirmed alloy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan anyone wear it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is suited to any gender. Fit depends on your neck measurement and the necklace’s usable length; an extension chain does not guarantee a fit for every neck size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does its story belong?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Ironspire, the forge city in the fictional world of Pedlar’s Attic. Luna’s workshop encounter joins the city’s existing stories of sharp-edged jewelry, difficult streets, and the people who make things worth bringing home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat will you find?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003eExplore Accessorizing the Mythic, where Luna’s Ironspire finds meet the rest of the Attic.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Pedlar's Attic","offers":[{"title":"AQ-6488","offer_id":67759562654012,"sku":"B0DE2295FCC9490BB402096D2E79360D","price":19.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AQ-6489","offer_id":67759562686780,"sku":"AD1AA87AB6BD40AB9A36F474A6E3D812","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/8849\/3372\/files\/S1c2d7dcac6b043e68fc794bd13d1c305W.webp?v=1792356890","url":"https:\/\/www.pedlarsattic.com\/products\/the-thornfire-heart-gothic-flame-barbed-wire-choker","provider":"Pedlar's Attic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
