Anatomy of a wound
Solid 18kt gold, hand-forged and brought to a satin Aureum finish, shaped as an interwoven plexus, six stones woven like nerves through the band. Six blue sapphires in brilliant cut run across the weave, conviction laced through the gold. Available as Minor or Magnus.

Solid 18kt Gold
Finish
Aureum
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 stone
Stones
A natural sapphire, night blue. Corundum, second only to diamond for hardness, with a blue that changes with the light it is given: ink under a lamp, almost violet in daylight. Silk and colour banding inside are the marks of a stone the earth grew.
Each stone is set by hand and matched by eye across the piece. Parcels are small and never identical, so tone is confirmed per order.
Stones on gold
On gold the stones are chosen with the founder, from parcels of different quality.
- PROBATUM
- Proven: it has passed the founder’s eye.Included in the price
- LIBRATUM
- Weighed against the others: cleaner, matched stone to stone.With a supplement
- RESERVATUM
- Set aside: the few finest of a parcel.With a supplement
Or leave the choice to the founder, at the price shown.
Either way, after your order the concierge writes to you on WhatsApp or by email before the stones are set, and tells you any supplement.
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
Born only when you claim it, in the configuration you chose. The forge does not take back what it has made for one person alone. 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 metal 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 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: 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.
