925 Sterling Silver Simple Heart Stud Earrings
The heart shape is the most recognized symbol in the world. Not the cross, not the star, not the circle — the heart. Every child in every culture draws the heart shape before they can write their own name. The heart shape appears on Valentine's cards and hospital signs and emoji keyboards and the walls of ancient caves. It is the symbol that requires no translation, the shape that communicates its meaning — love, care, connection — in every language simultaneously. But the heart shape as we know it — the two rounded lobes at the top, the single point at the bottom — does not actually look like a human heart. The human heart is a fist-sized muscle, roughly cone-shaped, that sits slightly to the left of center in the chest. The heart shape we use to represent love is a stylized form that first appeared in European art in the thirteenth century, possibly derived from the shape of ivy leaves, or the shape of swans' necks when they face each other, or the shape of the seed of the silphium plant, which was used as a contraceptive in ancient Carthage and whose image appeared on the coins of the city. The heart shape is not a picture of the organ that pumps blood. It is a picture of the feeling that the organ has come to represent — the shape of love itself, abstracted and perfected over seven hundred years of use. The simple heart stud earring takes this most universal and most immediately understood of all the symbols and renders it in 925 sterling silver — no stones, no enamel, no additional elements, just the heart shape in the most pure and most permanent of all the fine jewelry metals. The earring that says everything without saying anything. This 925 sterling silver stud earring renders the heart design in pure silver, at 1.3g. The earring that is the shape of love itself.
