The Custody
Every silver piece is covered by the maison against breakage of the metal: if it breaks, we take it back and repair it. Stones are not covered. For accidental damage, stones included, write to the atelier: we work out the most suitable solution together, keeping any costs as low as possible.
Included · it arrives in LIMENblack calfskin reliquary, sewn by hand
The first thing of BROKEN HEARTS anyone holds, before the piece. Full grain means the hide keeps its whole surface: it is not sanded or corrected, so no two carry the same marks. It closes with a leather tie wrapped around it.
Anatomy of a wound
Oxidized 925 silver, hand-forged. Irregular nuggets of silver, fine-grained with polished planes, joined by plain round rings. Every third nugget is hollowed out, and in it a natural garnet in brilliant cut is set, the rim of the metal left uneven. A bar through a ring closes the necklace. The bar carries the name BROKEN HEARTS. No two nuggets are alike.

Finish
Chiaroscuro
The signature finish of the house: the light and shadow of Caravaggio, form torn out of the dark. Every surface is burnished by hand so the shadow stays in the grooves and the light catches the relief. No two pieces carry it the same way.
The stone
Stones
A natural garnet, pyrope, cut round brilliant. Red the way blood is red, deep and slightly dark, with the light coming back from inside rather than off the surface. It formed in the earth over millions of years and it carries the evidence: minute inclusions, a tone that shifts by a shade from one stone to the next. That is origin, not fault.
Each stone is set by hand, one at a time. Natural stones arrive in small parcels and never twice the same, so when a tone runs out it is not reordered, it is replaced by the next thing the earth gives us.
Natural stones only, each called by its real name.
Made to order
Where it is born
Each piece is born in Italy, in the Oromare workshops, and finished in the Borgo degli Orefici, where metal has been struck for seven hundred years.
Why it cannot return
Cut and closed to your measure. Final, like everything made for one body only. By law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to measure or clearly personalised for one person alone (art. 59, para 1, letter c of Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005 and, for EU consumers, art. 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU). A wrong size is not a return: we resize it free, for as long as the forge stands. If, by exception, the maison accepts a piece back, it is never resold: it is melted down and the metal goes back to the crucible. And if something is wrong, write to us: a person reads every message, and the maison decides case by case. The Manifesto
Tied to a date?
Handwork can ask for a few extra days. If your piece is a gift or bound to a date, order about three weeks ahead and write to support@brokenhearts.co: it takes priority.
Anatomy of value
The hundred
One hundred new clients a month. When the hundred are reached the list closes, and opens again the month after. Whoever is already in the Register does not wait: the forge takes their piece first.
The hands
The wax burns out of the plaster at 720 degrees and the molten metal takes the space it leaves. Then files and paper, from 220 grit to 1200, until no tool mark catches the light. Where there are stones the metal is cut open and closed back over each one. Three workshops work the same piece, one after the other.
The days
The piece is made after your order, not taken from a shelf: up to twelve working days at the bench, and the date on this page is kept.
The rest is written in the Codex.
Forged one by one
Every piece is born in Italy, in the hands that forge it.
