Built around a Herkimer diamond, this piece holds tension and tenderness in the same breath. The pewter formed almost instinctively around the crystal, shaping itself into something that feels both armored and exposed. The silhouette came out heart-like—but not the soft kind. This is the kind of heart that’s weathered, protective, pulsing with memory.
The Herkimer sits raw in the center like a shard of clarity breaking through the rough. A tiny portal. A relic. A reminder.

✨ Note on Care & Patina: This piece is made with pewter (soft solder), natural materials, and raw elements, and it will develop a patina over time—that’s part of its magic. Tarnishing is completely normal. The darkening and shifts in tone are a living surface, shaped by touch, air, and time.
If you’d rather keep it bright, a soft cloth or fine steel wool can gently polish it—but you're also invited to let it age, weather, and tell its own story.
