Heart Pendant
A tiny and sweet retreat from our usual charm offerings. We don't typically make heart motifs but this year it feels right to celebrate love with something special. The heart shape that we know today may have originally been an interpretation of Aristotle's anatomical writings, in which he described three chambers with a dent in the center. He named the heart as the first organ to form in a developing embryo, and penned that it is the seat of intelligence, motion, and sensation.
This is an effortless, dainty charm that can be easily added to a necklace you already own. Or might we suggest pairing it with the petite Needle Eye Chain (pictured). It is completely hand-fabricated in our San Francisco studio using recycled metals.
Measurements: Approximately 12.5mm x 10mm (0.5in x 0.4in) including bail

* We use a unique alloy of 18k white gold, which is naturally hypoallergenic and doesn’t require rhodium plating. This allows us to avoid the use of harsh plating chemicals in the studio and lessens our carbon footprint. The color of palladium white gold is close to gunmetal. If you’re searching for a very white colored metal, we suggest our platinum option.

Taking Care
Fine jewelry should be treated with care. It is best practice to remove jewelry when coming home, and to put it back on when leaving the house. This can lengthen the life of a piece dramatically, and can lessen the chances of damaging an item.
This piece is hand-fabricated to order, with a typical delivery time of 1-2 weeks. Each piece has unique variations. For special orders or to request a rush, we welcome you to contact the studio.
