Anatomical Heart Pendant Necklace - "Brave Heart"

A little romantic, a little mysterious, this anatomical heart pendant is the work of designer Anna Bánkuti, whose intricate, Victorian-inspired illustrations bring a wonderfully old-world feel to her jewelry. Here, a detailed anatomical heart is etched into an oval pendant in warm 18K yellow gold vermeil, creating a piece that feels more like a tiny found object than traditional sentimental jewelry.

Suspended from an oxidized sterling silver chain, the mixed-metal combination gives the pendant an aged, collected character that only gets better layered with other necklaces. Thoughtful without being overly sweet, it’s a wearable little love note with a bit of edge.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the necklace in person?
The oxidized silver and gold vermeil finishes can read a bit differently depending on the light around them, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the necklace you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.

What is gold vermeil?
Gold vermeil is a layer of gold applied over sterling silver. This pendant features 18K yellow gold vermeil, while the cable link chain is oxidized sterling silver.

Is the chain included?
Yes. The pendant comes suspended from the adjustable oxidized sterling silver cable link chain described above.

How should I care for the necklace?
Keep it away from harsh chemicals, moisture, and abrasive cleaners. Store it separately when not worn, and avoid polishing the oxidized finish unless you intend to alter its appearance.
