The shield held until twilight. Amethyst at its center — the calm worn over what no longer needs defending.

Handmade in Italy
Anatomy of a wound
Oxidized 925 silver aged with deep oxidation, shaped as a shield — protection worn as memory of what it cost. One violet stone (1.00ct) in brilliant cut held at the center, twilight worn as quiet after the long war.

Material
925 Sterling Silver
Finish
Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro is the Broken Hearts signature finish, the light and shadow Caravaggio brought to Naples: light tearing form 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.
Stones
1 pietra viola taglio brillante
Each stone is selected by hand and set individually. Slight variations in quantity or placement may occur from one piece to the next, every setting is shaped by the artisan to honour the unique character of the casting. When placing your order, if you wish to personally select the stones together with us, write to support@brokenhearts.co: dedicated consultation included to choose the perfect stones for your piece together.
Creation time
3–7 business days
Every piece is born entirely by hand, so a delay of a few days can occasionally occur. If your piece is a gift or tied to a date, order one to two weeks ahead and write to support@brokenhearts.co: we will give it priority.
Resizing
Always free
Wrong size? Send it back at any time and we resize it at no cost, as many times as you need. You only cover the shipping to us. Learn more
Production
Made for you alone
Nothing is made in advance. One atelier, forty years of Italian goldsmith tradition.
Guarantee
Lifetime
Your piece remains under the atelier's custody for life. If it ever breaks, bends or loses a stone, we take it back and restore it. Forever.
Born only when you order it, every sale is final.
Every Broken Hearts piece carries its fracture.
Not to remember what broke, but to wear what endured.
