'You Are My Match, Light My Fire' is a match necklace created by SunGalleryandGifts, an Etsy shop based out of North Carolina, designed to look just like a used matchstick. The pendant piece is handcrafted from sterling silver and turns an ordinary object that's used up quickly and thrown into the trash just as fast into a lasting, wearable work of art.
Since the Sterling Silver Burnt Match Stick Pendants are all handmade, the lengths of the sterling matchsticks tend to vary in size from about 1" - 1.5" and are presented on a simple 16" silver ball chain necklace. The striking match necklace from SunGalleryandGifts is priced at $32 and makes for a pretty romantic way to tell someone that you're a perfect pair, instead of a conventional jewelry shape like a heart or a locket.
