Heartbreak
available
If the cinema industry has taught us a lesson since its appearance is that relationships don't always last and one is inevitably bound to get a broken heart.
Yet the vast majority of jewelry that celebrates the concept of love never reveals the fragility of romantic relationships.
The Heartbreak consists of a fragile porcelain heart and light yet strong titanium hammer, booth are connected and made inseparable by a titanium chain.
When broken the heart will show cracks, yet it will never fall apart as there is a layer of rubber on the inside that will keep the heart together. Indeed as one will usually recover from a broken heart, the small cracks will inevitably add up and form who we are.
Heartbreak forms the third piece in the breakable porcelain series after Do Break and Shock Proof.
