"The locket is held shut by the trunk of the aorta, which acts as a snap. The chain is an 18" wheat chain, the fine striations of which mirror the musculature of the heart."

"It attaches to the pendant through the superior vena cava and left pulmonary vein, causing the heart to hang slightly anterio-inferiorly."
