Anatomy
Solid 14kt gold, hand-forged and brought to a satin Aureum finish. A deep fracture splits the surface, revealing five small lab-grown diamonds in brilliant cut, aligned along the relic like light the collapse could not dim. One of a kind, no setting repeats another.

Material
Solid 18kt Gold
Finish
Aureum
Aureum is the same chiaroscuro cast in gold: light does not slip away, it lingers like a warm glow rising from the dark. Caravaggio's tension between light and shadow, in metal.

The diamond, explained
Created, not mined
Lab-grown
Not a substitute, but a diamond in the fullest sense of the word. Born of pure carbon under the same heat and pressure that forge one in the heart of the earth, mastered this time by human hands in weeks instead of a billion years. Identical to a mined diamond in chemistry, hardness and light, indistinguishable even under a gemologist's loupe. Yet with no mine torn open and no hand exploited, traceable from the first atom. Set in solid 18kt gold, it is the same wound you already wear in silver, cast this time in light. Always declared as created in a laboratory.
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.
Carat~0.15ct
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.
