Reliquary · From your first piece LIMENThe threshold.
The first thing of BROKEN HEARTS you hold in your hands, 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, luminous pavé. Seven laboratory grown green spinels in brilliant cut, cluster set like the green that returns through the burnt earth, each stone hand set one by one.

Stone Card · digital
A green spinel grown in a laboratory, cut round brilliant. Cold, saturated green, held at the same intensity through the whole stone. Spinel is hard and bright and takes a sharp polish, so the facets stay crisp against oxidised silver instead of dissolving into it.
Each stone is set by hand, grain by grain: the metal is carved open and closed back over the stone.
Laboratory-grown or natural, we say the real name of the stone, and we rank neither. The third commandment.
The stones are selected one by one: small variations are part of the piece. Would you like to choose them with us? Write to us.
Made for you alone
Where it is born
We do not list handwork among the virtues: for us it is the blood of the work. 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
Not only for the size and the stone you choose. The design is ours, but the piece is born only because you asked for it: what you bring to life cannot return. By law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to what is made to measure for one person alone (art. 59, para 1, letters c and e of the Italian Consumer Code). A wrong size is not a return: we resize it free, for as long as the forge stands. If, by rare exception, the atelier accepts a piece back, it is never resold: it is melted down and the silver goes back to the crucible. No piece lives twice. 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 one to two 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 number
Every piece with natural stones has its Stone Card: a digital certificate of origin and authenticity with a number of its own, issued only by the concierge after the order. It states the species, the cut, the carats and the measurements.
The hands
The wax burns out of the plaster at 720 degrees and the silver 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: three to ten working days at the bench, and the date on this page is a date we keep. You are not waiting for a parcel. You are waiting for the work.
The rest is written in the Codex.
Forged One by One
Every piece is born in Italy, in the hands that forge it.
I
The wax
Every form begins in wax, carved by hand: the saw and the burr take away what is not needed.
