Hand-forged heart amulet of iron.
This small, forged heart amulet is made entirely by hand from a piece of iron and is very suitable as a small gift of love.A forged heart stands for loyalty and reliability, for steadfastness and solidity, qualities that are of high value for a firm and long-lasting partnership and find their symbolic expression in this pendant.
The forged heart amulet measures 3.5 x 2.5 cm and can be worn around the neck with the enclosed leather strap.
The symbol of the heart known today comes from stylized representations of fig leaves used for decoration in the 3rd millennium BC. As decoration, fig and ivy leaves are often found on Greek vases and frescoes.
In the 8th century BC, Corinthian artists decorated vases with figurative images of ivy leaves and heart-shaped grapes. The ivy leaf stood for eternal love in Greek, Roman and early Christian cultures.
In the minneliterature of the Middle Ages, ivy leaves appear in love scenes, and from this context the heart-shaped symbol we know today emerged, which has been used as a sign of love since the 13th century until today.
