Anatomy of a wound
925 silver forged with a Chiaroscuro finish, reached through controlled volcanic oxidation. Shaped as an octagonal signet, head and band devoured by the same mottled texture that recalls volcanic ash, the faceted geometry surfacing through the corrosion like a relic pulled from the ground. One of a kind: the oxidation settles differently on every piece.

Finish
Chiaroscuro
The signature finish of the house: the light and shadow Caravaggio brought to Naples, form torn 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.
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 the Oromare workshops and finished in Naples' 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. 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.
The anatomy of value
Three hands
Lost-wax cast at 720 degrees. Finished by hand, grit 220 to 1200. Each grain set by hand, the metal carved open, then closed back over the stone. Three workshops touch every piece. None of them hurries.
The days
Three to ten working days of hand labor. Fourteen at most, when the piece is engraved. You are not waiting for a parcel. You are waiting for the work.
The hundred
The forge takes one hundred new clients a month. When the list is full, it closes. It reopens the month after. Those in the Register never queue: for them, the forge opens first.
The rest is written in the Lex Centum.
Forged One by One
Every piece is born in Naples, in the hands that forge it.
