The ribs form the curved bony framework of the chest, where they help protect the heart and lungs. Their naturally arcing shape also makes them particularly suited to this heart-shaped design.
The Design
We spent a lot of time carefully hand-sculpting and refining this design, using the curved rib and vertebra to create a heart-shaped form.
Made by Us, From Sculpture to Finish
We sculpt the original by hand in our Swedish workshop. We make the mold, cast the pendant in lead-free pewter, and finish each one by hand. The surface is oxidized to bring out the details, then polished by hand.
