14k Gold Heart Necklaces by Shlama carry something extraordinary at their center — a nano Bible chip, inlaid like a diamond, holding every engraved word of Scripture. Choose from layered gold heart pendants, CZ-paved designs, and lariat silhouettes in solid 14k gold, rose gold, or sterling silver. Each piece arrives with a certificate of authenticity and is backed by a 2-year warranty. A gift that is as rare as it is beautiful — explore the collection and find your perfect heart of gold necklace.
14k Gold Heart Necklaces Set With a Nano Bible Chip
14k gold heart necklaces from Shlama hold something no ordinary pendant can claim. In fact, inside each heart sits a chip engraved with Scripture. It measures only 0.2 by 0.2 inches, roughly 5 by 5 millimeters wide. Notably, Shlama etches every letter directly into the surface. Instead, printing never touches it. That distinction matters more than it first appears. Engraved text cannot fade. It cannot flake or wear away, even after years of daily wear, travel, and ordinary handling.
Above all, a gold heart necklace has always meant something personal. It rests near the collarbone, close to the pulse. It sits close to whatever a person carries privately. Shlama took that quiet symbol and gave it real depth. Specifically, the jeweler inlays the chip exactly as one would set a diamond. Shlama never glues it; precision holds it firmly in place instead. As a result, the 14k heart necklace carries weight far beyond its size. It holds a complete testament inside a shape everyone already recognizes as love.
A Small Chip, a Whole Testament
Each letter on the chip measures roughly 100 times thinner than a strand of hair. Cutting-edge technology makes this scale possible. Indeed, a steady hand alone could never manage it. Even so, the content stays entirely traditional. Every word of the New Testament, or every word of the Old Testament, appears exactly as written. Instead, the text keeps every word, without abbreviation, paraphrase, or summary. The full text remains, letter for letter, across the entire engraved surface.
Most customers want proof, not just a promise on a page. For instance, anyone who travels to Israel can visit Shlama's gallery in person. There, a metallurgical microscope at 1000x magnification brings each letter into full view. Consequently, seeing an entire testament resolve into legible text changes how a visitor sees the pendant. That shift in perspective often lasts long after the actual visit ends.
From Ancient Text to Modern Craft
The idea behind this collection bridges two distant worlds. On one side sits an ancient text, copied and preserved by hand across centuries. On the other side sits advanced engraving technology, built for extreme precision at a nearly invisible scale. Here, Shlama brings both worlds together inside a single heart necklace. Neither side ever has to compromise for the other.
The New Testament chip holds all 27 books. Specifically, it carries 260 chapters and 786,662 letters, engraved in full. The Old Testament chip holds 24 books across 929 chapters. It carries 1,202,972 letters, engraved onto its surface without exception. Elsewhere, certain pieces across Shlama's wider range combine both chips together. Only those particular designs rightly earn the name the entire Bible.
Why a Gold Heart Necklace Carries More Than Metal
A gold heart necklace usually signals affection alone. Indeed, that simple, familiar gesture repeats across generations. Shlama's version signals something noticeably deeper instead, without losing any of that original warmth. After all, the heart shape still speaks its familiar language of love. People understand it instantly, everywhere it travels. Now, however, it also carries the language of faith, word for word, letter for letter, folded quietly into that same small silhouette.
Wearing one means carrying both meanings at once. It happens whether or not anyone else ever notices. Certainly, miniature Scripture jewelry is not entirely new to the world. Still, few brands treat it with this level of craft and consistency. Overall, Shlama's collections stretch across 14k gold, sterling silver, vermeil, and stainless steel. This specific 14k heart necklace range, though, stays exclusively in yellow and white gold.
Heart Shape Pendant in Gold: A Symbol Chosen With Purpose
Shlama could have chosen any shape for this collection. Instead, the heart won out for one clear reason. It remains a symbol nearly every culture already understands, without any translation required. Notably, a heart shape pendant in gold needs no caption beside it. People recognize love before they recognize anything else about a necklace. That recognition happens almost instinctively. It crosses cultures and generations alike, rarely needing a second thought. Shlama simply built on a symbol that already worked.
That built-in familiarity gives the chip somewhere quiet to live. It stays entirely unnoticed at first glance. Indeed, nobody glancing at the necklace sees Scripture immediately. Instead, they simply see a heart, warm and polished, resting at the collarbone. Only the wearer, and anyone they choose to tell, actually knows what waits inside. That privacy is part of the design itself, never an accident of it.
A Heart Meant to Be Worn Quietly
Shlama built this collection for people who want their faith close. Instead, they do not want it loud or attention-seeking. Naturally, a 14k heart pendant achieves that naturally. It requires no real adjustment to how someone already dresses day to day. A workday, a dinner, a difficult morning — all of them fit it easily. It asks nothing of the wearer, except that they simply wear it, consistently and without fuss.
Yet underneath that quiet presence, it holds, in full, a text that has shaped countless lives for thousands of years. That contrast between outward simplicity and inward substance runs through every detail Shlama builds into this collection. For instance, it shows in the polish applied to the metal. It shows just as clearly in the depth of what the chip actually contains.
Gold Heart Pendant Designs Built Around One Idea
Every gold heart pendant in this collection starts from the same guiding principle. Above all, the chip must anchor the 14k necklace. It should never simply decorate it as an afterthought. From that foundation, Shlama built genuine variety around personal taste and everyday habits. For instance, some wearers want a bold, sculptural heart that draws the eye immediately. Others want something far quieter beneath a collar or a coat.
The range spans smooth solid outlines, gently layered curves, and pieces lined with clear stones along the edge. Naturally, each design reads differently once someone actually wears it against the body, in real light, throughout a real day. Still, every single one holds an identical promise underneath its surface. It carries a full testament, engraved and inlaid, never glued into place at any point.
14k Gold Heart Necklace Styles for Every Wearer
A 14k gold heart necklace can look completely different, depending entirely on the wearer's taste. Accordingly, Shlama designed the range with exactly that variation in mind. One person might choose a polished, solid pendant for understated wear beneath a sweater. Meanwhile, another leans toward a design lined with clear cubic zirconia stones for extra shine. Both choices, notably, hold the identical Scripture inside.
Meanwhile, other wearers prefer a heart paired with a cross detail. This layers two symbols of faith into a single, cohesive necklace. Whatever the preference happens to be, every option ships available in either white or yellow 14k gold. In turn, tone becomes purely a matter of personal taste. It never limits the underlying design itself. Either version pairs easily with other jewelry already in rotation. Nothing about the design forces a wearer to choose just one style forever.
Chain Length and Everyday Fit
Chain length also shapes how a 14k heart necklace actually sits against the body. Accordingly, this detail deserves real attention before checkout begins. Shlama's product pages list exact measurements clearly for every design. Nothing leaves the customer guessing or assuming. For instance, a shorter chain rests higher, near the collarbone. A longer one settles lower and reads a touch more relaxed.
Neither length changes anything about the chip resting inside. It remains purely a personal styling decision, nothing more complicated than that. For example, some wearers prefer their necklace visible above a neckline. Others tuck it beneath clothing entirely, out of sight. Either way, the testament inside stays exactly as complete, regardless of how the chain happens to fall. Clearly, Shlama designed it this way on purpose, not by accident. A necklace should adapt to the wearer's daily life, never the other way around.
What Each Design Means to the Person Wearing It
A design choice rarely stays purely visual for long once someone actually lives with the 14k necklace. For instance, the solid 14k heart pendant often appeals to someone who prefers subtlety over any loud statement. The stone-lined heart speaks to someone who wants a bit of sparkle alongside their faith. It does this without abandoning the underlying symbol they came looking for in the first place.
None of these choices change what sits inside the chip itself. Every piece in this collection carries an engraved testament, letter for letter, regardless of outward style. Instead, the variety exists entirely for the wearer, never for the Scripture. Shlama built it this way deliberately. Style should never dictate substance or meaning. Indeed, a simpler design and a more detailed one hold exactly the same content. Neither one outweighs the other in what actually matters most.
14k Solid Gold Heart Necklace: The Craft Behind the Metal
A 14k solid gold heart necklace starts long before the jeweler ever sets the chip into place. Specifically, Shlama begins with 14k gold, chosen for its balance of durability and warmth. Solid 14k gold resists tarnish and holds its shine for years. That matters greatly, since this jewelry aims to outlast a single season entirely. Admittedly, cheaper alternatives may look similar at first glance. Over time, though, the difference in quality becomes obvious to the wearer.
Once craftsmen cast and polish the heart shape to a high standard, the chip becomes the true centerpiece. Shlama's engraving process relies on advanced technology. It places full chapters of Scripture onto a surface only 5 by 5 millimeters wide. Again, the engraving process places every letter directly into the chip. Printing never touches its surface at any stage. Indeed, nobody rushes or handles that step carelessly. Each piece receives individual attention before it ever leaves the workshop.
Inside the Advanced Engraving Process
Engraving a full testament onto a chip this small requires exceptional precision. Every single stage of production matters, without a single exception allowed. Specifically, cutting-edge technology guides the process letter by letter. Nothing shifts, blurs, or drops out along the way. Despite the tiny scale involved, the content never changes from one finished chip to the next. Additionally, skilled technicians double-check the work at multiple stages. Only pieces that meet Shlama's standard move forward toward a finished setting.
Customers can confirm this for themselves, rather than simply trusting a page online. For instance, anyone visiting Israel is warmly welcome to stop by Shlama's gallery. There, a metallurgical microscope at 1000x magnification reveals every engraved letter with total clarity. Chapter after chapter reads exactly as the original authors wrote it, centuries before this technology ever existed. Notably, many visitors describe the moment as unexpectedly moving. Reading familiar words at that scale changes how the text feels entirely.
14k Solid Gold Heart Pendant Materials, Explained Simply
This collection keeps its material choice intentionally focused. Instead, it does not scatter thin across too many competing options at once. Shlama makes every piece here in 14k solid gold, available in either yellow or white tone. Elsewhere, across its wider range, Shlama also works in sterling silver, vermeil, and stainless steel. This particular heart necklace collection, though, remains 14k gold throughout, without exception.
That focus is deliberate, never accidental or simply limiting by default. Specifically, Shlama chose 14k gold for its durability and its lasting shine. It also carries a long-standing association with meaningful, generational jewelry, passed quietly between family members over decades. Consequently, every metal tone within the collection receives an identical inlay setting and an identical polish level. Nothing about tone changes how securely the chip sits inside.
Setting a Solid Gold Heart Pendant Like a Diamond
Most miniature-Scripture jewelry on the market simply glues its chip into place. As a result, that leaves it genuinely vulnerable to shifting over time. Shlama does not follow that particular shortcut, under any circumstances. Instead, the jeweler sets the chip the same careful way a goldsmith would set a diamond. It stays held securely within the metal itself, rather than merely resting on its surface. Admittedly, this approach costs more time during production. Shlama considers that extra effort worthwhile for a piece meant to last.
That single decision defines much of what separates this collection from others on the market. For instance, a glued chip can shift, loosen, or dull with age and repeated wear. An inlaid chip, by contrast, stays fixed permanently within its gold heart pendant setting. It is the same careful setting used consistently throughout Shlama's finer pieces, across every collection the brand produces.
Why These Materials and This Setting Matter Long-Term
Jewelry meant for genuine daily wear needs to actually survive daily life. Instead, it cannot merely look impressive in a single product photograph. 14k gold does not oxidize under normal use. In turn, it holds its color for decades, rather than merely a handful of years. Shlama chose this material because it outlasts passing trends entirely, not because it was the easiest option available.
The inlay setting adds a further layer of security beyond the metal alone. Because the chip sits fixed within the 14k gold, rather than resting on top of it, everyday movement cannot loosen it. A heart necklace worn daily should still hold every engraved letter exactly as it did on its very first day of wear. Even so, frequent movement, like reaching or stretching, poses no real risk. Shlama built the setting specifically to withstand ordinary daily life.
Gold Heart Necklace in 14k Gold: A Gift Rooted in Meaning
A gold heart necklace in 14k gold rarely needs any explanation as a gift. Above all, the heart shape already says love clearly, entirely on its own. The engraved Scripture inside says something further still. It speaks to a quiet commitment to faith, to heritage, and to a tradition genuinely worth passing down through a family. Indeed, few objects manage to say both things clearly at once. Shlama built this necklace specifically to do exactly that.
For a recipient who values their roots, that combination lands very differently than an ordinary 14k necklace. Instead, nobody chooses it as simple decoration for a passing occasion. Rather, it is a physical object carrying a text that has guided generations before them. That, precisely, is why giving it means so much more. In short, it says the giver paid attention to what truly matters to that person. Few gestures communicate that level of understanding so directly.
A Piece That Connects Generations
Faith and heritage rarely arrive through objects alone. Yet objects can still carry them forward meaningfully across time and distance. A 14k heart necklace holding the New Testament or the Old Testament becomes exactly that kind of object. For instance, a parent can give it to a child. Later, a grandchild can inherit it in turn, entirely unchanged by the years between. Notably, the object itself does not need updating or replacing along the way. It simply continues, largely unchanged, from one generation to the next.
Because 14k gold does not degrade with age or ordinary handling, this transfer across generations stays genuinely realistic. Rather, it is not merely sentimental language on a product page. The metal holds its shine, and the chip holds its text. Both remain essentially as they were, decades after the first person ever wore them, day after day. In fact, someone who buys a necklace today could still wear it fifty years from now. That kind of permanence is rare in modern jewelry.
Mom Heart Necklace in Gold: A Gift That Speaks for Itself
Few gifts fit a mother figure as naturally as a 14k heart necklace already does. Specifically, a mom heart necklace in gold takes that familiar, well-worn gesture and adds real depth beneath its surface. Rather than a plain symbol alone, she receives a necklace engraved with Scripture she can trust is fully present. Additionally, a certificate of authenticity confirms this with every order.
This kind of gift tends to resonate well beyond the moment someone first opens it. A mother who values her faith often wears such a necklace daily, long after the original occasion has passed. Over time, it becomes part of her everyday routine. It stays quietly present through both ordinary days and important ones alike, year after year. Indeed, few pieces of jewelry manage that kind of quiet, sustained presence. Shlama built this one specifically with that longevity in mind.
Durability That Matches the Weight of What It Holds
A gift meant to carry Scripture should never wear out quickly or lose its shape. Shlama backs this 14k gold collection with a lifetime warranty. In turn, it reflects genuine confidence in both construction and materials used throughout every 14k necklace. A 30-day return or exchange window gives recipients real room to decide if a necklace truly fits them. That window removes much of the pressure often attached to buying jewelry. Consequently, customers can decide calmly, without feeling rushed into a final choice.
Meanwhile, 14k gold resists everyday wear far better than lower-karat alternatives. Likewise, it simply does not tarnish with age, the way certain other metals do. The inlay setting protecting each chip adds further reassurance. Consequently, nothing about daily movement threatens what actually sits inside. A gift like this lasts as long as the relationship it represents. Indeed, even decades of regular wear should leave the surface looking largely unchanged. Shlama built this collection with exactly that expectation in mind.
Uniqueness Built Into Every Gold Heart Pendant
No two recipients experience this gift identically, even when the design matches exactly. Instead, what the chip holds, and what it genuinely means to the wearer, stays deeply personal to them alone. A catalog description simply cannot capture that on its own. That is where the collection's uniqueness truly lives, not only in design variation, but in what each 14k necklace represents to its wearer.
Shlama built every heart pendant around this idea from the very beginning. The jewelry itself is beautiful, certainly, but beauty was never the entire goal. Instead, the real goal was to give people a way to carry something meaningful. It should never feel heavy or out of place in ordinary daily life. Consequently, that goal shapes every decision made during design and production. It also shapes how the finished necklace feels once someone actually wears it.
Heart Pendant in 14k Gold: How to Choose the Right One
Choosing a heart pendant in 14k gold usually comes down to a few simple questions. For example, does the wearer prefer a subtle design, or one with more visible presence? Do they lean toward 14k yellow gold or white gold instead? Would they rather select a single testament outright, or leave that choice open for a future gift given to someone else? Ultimately, there is no wrong answer among these options. Each one simply reflects a different personal preference, nothing more.
Shlama's product pages answer each of these questions clearly before checkout even begins. Specifically, sizing, chip content, and available 14k gold tones all appear plainly on the page itself. As a result, choosing the right 14k necklace becomes a straightforward matter of preference. It removes any real uncertainty about what the customer is actually purchasing. Consequently, customers rarely need to contact support just to understand what they are buying. The information they need sits directly on the page itself.
14k Gold Heart Pendant Options at Checkout
Every 14k gold heart pendant in this collection ships with a certificate of authenticity, included as standard. Specifically, that document confirms exactly which testament sits inside, along with the total letter count engraved onto the chip. Customers never have to take the content on faith alone. The certificate backs up every claim already made on the product page. Ultimately, that transparency matters most for a gift this personal and specific. Nobody should have to simply take the seller's word for it.
In addition, Shlama offers two distinct delivery speeds, to fit different timelines and different occasions. For instance, standard door-to-door delivery arrives within roughly 10 business days, at no charge to the customer, gift-boxed and ready to present. Expedited delivery, meanwhile, reaches its destination within 3 to 5 business days. This suits anyone who needs a necklace sooner than that timeline allows. Either way, both options ship the necklace securely packaged, ready to hand over as a gift. Neither option compromises on how the necklace arrives.
Reasons Customers Choose Shlama for This Collection
Beyond the jewelry itself, several practical reasons keep customers returning to this collection. Indeed, order after order, gift after gift, they come back again, year over year, long after their first purchase. Taken as a whole, these details reflect a brand built around genuine consistency, rather than a single strong photograph. These reasons matter just as much to a first-time buyer as to someone ordering a second necklace:
- Every chip is engraved, never printed, preserving the text permanently
- The setting mirrors diamond-setting technique, never glue
- 14k white and yellow gold options available across every design
- A lifetime warranty backs every 14k gold necklace in this collection
- A 30-day return or exchange window removes purchase pressure
- Every order includes a certificate confirming the chip's exact content
- Free door-to-door delivery ships within about 10 business days
- Expedited delivery reaches recipients within 3 to 5 business days
- A gallery in Israel lets customers view their chip firsthand
Taken together, these details explain why so many customers return for a second or third gift. Instead, they rarely treat that first purchase as a single, isolated experience. Word of mouth, more than any advertisement, tends to carry this collection from one household to the next. Often, many new customers first hear about Shlama through a friend or family member already wearing one. That kind of recommendation tends to carry more weight than any advertisement ever could.
Support That Continues After the Purchase
Buying a 14k necklace this meaningful should never feel like a one-time transaction. Instead, it should not simply end the moment checkout finishes. Shlama's customer support team stays genuinely available well after purchase. Specifically, this includes help with sizing questions, tracking updates, or general questions about the collection. That support extends fully through the entire return and exchange window as well. Typically, customers rarely wait long for a reply, regardless of the question involved. That responsiveness matters most in the days right before someone needs a gift.
Once an order actually ships, a tracking link follows shortly afterward. As a result, customers always know roughly where their necklace currently sits along the way. That visibility matters most whenever a gift needs to arrive before a specific date. It removes much of the usual guesswork that comes with ordering fine jewelry online. Consequently, nobody has to guess or simply hope a package arrives on time. Shlama designed the process with exactly that reassurance in mind.
14k Yellow Gold Heart Necklace: A Warm Way to Carry Faith
A 14k yellow gold heart necklace brings a traditional warmth that many wearers genuinely prefer. Naturally, the tone suits vintage-inspired outfits and modern, everyday looks equally well. It never feels out of place in either context or setting. Beneath that warm, golden surface sits the same engraved testament found throughout this collection, entirely unchanged by tone. Ultimately, neither tone outshines the other in quality or craftsmanship. The decision comes down entirely to what feels right against a person's own skin.
Choosing 14k yellow gold over white gold ultimately comes down to personal preference. Indeed, there is no real difference in content or craftsmanship between the two. Both tones receive an identical polish, an identical inlay setting, and identical care throughout production. The choice simply reflects how someone wants the finished necklace to look against their skin. For instance, some wearers simply know their preference right away. Others take time comparing both tones before deciding, and either approach works equally well.
14k Yellow Gold Heart Pendant as a Seasonal Gift
Certain occasions call for a 14k necklace with real warmth genuinely built into it. A 14k yellow gold heart pendant fits naturally into holiday gifting, anniversary gestures, or milestone celebrations tied to faith. For example, Christmas, Easter, and Mother's Day all suit this collection particularly well. Each holiday already ties closely to belief and family tradition. Consequently, a gift chosen around one of these dates rarely feels like an afterthought. It reads instead as something considered well in advance.
Valentine's Day works nicely too, since the heart shape already carries romantic meaning. In fact, it does this long before anyone even learns what actually sits inside it. Similarly, a confirmation, a christening, or a baptism gives an equally fitting reason to choose a necklace. This holds true regardless of whichever season happens to fall on the calendar that year. Either way, whatever the occasion happens to be, the underlying gift stays exactly the same in substance. Only the reason for giving it actually changes.
Carrying This Collection's Meaning Forward
Everything within this collection returns, in the end, to one central idea. Indeed, a small piece of 14k gold can hold something genuinely enormous. That happens only if the craftsmanship truly respects what it carries inside. Shlama built each 14k gold heart necklace around that exact belief. Specifically, it engraves the text rather than printing it, and it inlays the chip rather than gluing it into place.
Identity rarely announces itself loudly, and neither does this 14k heart necklace. Instead, a heart pendant sits quietly against the skin, doing its work without asking for attention. Yet underneath that quiet surface rests a testament, fully engraved and fully present. It stands ready to mean just as much decades from now as it clearly does today. Ultimately, that permanence is, in many ways, the entire point of this collection. Few objects manage to promise that much and actually keep it.
Heart Shaped Necklace in Gold: Meet the Collection
This collection currently offers three designs. We reviewed each one directly from Shlama's own site, rather than relying on a secondhand description.
Gold Heart Pendant – Solid Heart Design – The Heart's Treasure Pendant
A rounded, solid heart pendant in 14k gold, available in white or yellow tone. The nano Bible chip sits centered and inlaid beneath a high-polish finish, giving the necklace a clean, uncluttered silhouette. Its simple outline makes it an easy everyday choice for a first faith-based necklace.
Gold Heart Necklace – New Testament Cross Design – Love Cross Pendant
A heart pendant paired with a cross silhouette, layering two symbols of faith into one necklace. The New Testament chip sits inlaid at the heart's center, finished to a bright, even shine. The dual symbolism suits anyone wanting both faith markers visible in one cohesive design.
Heart Pendant in 14k Gold – New or Old Testament Choice – Amora Necklace
A refined heart pendant offering a choice between testaments at checkout. Wearers select the New Testament or the Old Testament chip, each set with the same inlay precision. That flexibility suits anyone for whom a specific testament holds personal significance.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is included in a 14k gold heart necklace from Shlama?
Each 14k gold heart necklace contains a chip engraved with either the New Testament or the Old Testament. The jeweler sets it inside a heart pendant the way one would set a diamond, rather than gluing it. A gold heart necklace from this collection ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming exactly what the chip holds.
2. Why does this collection use a heart shape for the pendant?
The heart represents love in nearly every culture, which makes it a natural home for engraved Scripture. Wearing a heart necklace lets someone carry their faith quietly, without it needing further explanation. The shape itself already communicates the meaning underneath.
3. Is this jewelry waterproof?
Shlama makes this collection in 14k gold, which handles water well — showering or swimming causes no issue. Elsewhere across Shlama's wider range, sterling silver and stainless steel handle water equally well. Gold-plated vermeil, though, should avoid extended water contact, since its plating, while thick and hard, cannot withstand constant exposure.
4. What metals can I choose for a heart pendant in 14k gold?
Shlama makes this collection entirely in 14k gold, available in yellow or white tone depending on the design. Each tone receives the same inlay setting and the same high-polish finish, so the choice comes down to personal preference rather than quality.
5. How can I verify the Scripture inside the chip?
Customers who travel to Israel are welcome to visit Shlama's gallery at Mazal Shor 1, in the Old City of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv. The gallery houses a metallurgical microscope at 1000x magnification, which brings every engraved letter into clear view.
6. How do I care for the nano Bible chip?
We recommend cleaning the chip gently with an alcohol pad if it ever needs attention. This keeps the engraved surface clear without risking damage to the text underneath.
7. What is the warranty and return policy?
Gold and diamond jewelry from Shlama, including this collection, carries a lifetime warranty, while pieces made from other materials carry a two-year warranty. Every order also includes a 30-day return or exchange window. Full details are available on our warranty and jewelry care page and within our terms of service.
8. Is a gold heart necklace in 14k gold a good gift for a mother or loved one?
Yes. A mom heart necklace in gold pairs a familiar, loving symbol with Scripture that stays permanently engraved inside. It suits birthdays, holidays, or simply a gesture of appreciation for someone whose faith matters deeply to them.
