The shield hides nothing. Clear stone at its heart — survival worn as light, not weight.

Handmade in Italy
Anatomy
Oxidized 925 silver aged with deep oxidation, shaped as a shield — protection worn as memory of what it cost. One lab-grown diamond (1.00ct) in brilliant cut held at the center, survival worn as light, not weight. One of a kind: no setting repeats another.

Material
925 Sterling Silver
Finish
Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro is the play of light and shadow Caravaggio brought to Naples: light tearing form out of the dark. We burnish every surface by hand so the shadow stays in the grooves and the light catches the relief.

The diamond, explained
Created, not mined
Lab-grown
A real diamond, grown in a laboratory instead of mined. The same carbon crystal, the same hardness, the same fire as a mined stone, indistinguishable to the eye and to the loupe. No mining, fully traceable. Always declared as laboratory-grown.
Colour
D–F
Diamond colour runs from D, perfectly colourless and the rarest, down to Z, visibly yellow. Yours is D–F: the colourless tier, the whitest a diamond gets. The less colour, the more light passes through it.
Clarity
VVS
Clarity measures the tiny natural marks inside the stone, its inclusions. VVS means Very, Very Slightly included: flaws so minute they are invisible to the naked eye and barely visible even under a 10× loupe. Almost perfectly clean.
Carat1.00ct
Carat is the diamond's weight, not its size (1 carat = 0.2 grams). More carat, more presence.

Sourced
Broken Hearts selects its lab-grown diamonds already in the D–F, VVS range, directly from chosen suppliers. On small-carat stones no individual certificate exists, in any jeweller: quality is guaranteed by the selection at the source, not by a piece of paper.
