What if jewelry could tell a story—not just about style, but about friendship, growth, and time? That’s the idea behind my Carved Hearts collection. Inspired by the rings inside a tree, which mark its years and the history it holds, this collection celebrates connection, endurance, and the beauty of life’s imperfections.
Each heart in this collection is a labor of love, made using the ancient Japanese ceramic technique called nerikomi and hand-carved to reveal a one-of-a-kind pattern in every piece.
Trees hold a profound symbolism—strength, growth, and the layers of time that shape who we are. Just as the rings in a tree tell a story of years gone by, I saw an opportunity to represent the shared memories and connections that deepen friendships over time. The heart, a universal symbol of love and care, became the perfect form to express this sentiment.
But this isn’t your typical heart jewelry. The Carved Hearts collection is rooted in texture, contrast, and individuality. Each piece is meant to feel as unique as the bond it represents.
This heart is the small size and measures approximately 13x12mm. Select your preferred length of chain and choice of a silver or an oxidized (black) silver chain in the drop down menu.
