(Un)broken is a handmade porcelain brooch with a heartwarming message: that we are all more beautiful for having been broken.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending ceramics with gold, highlighting the cracks to celebrate the beauty in the broken. The gold lines are proud traces of the symbolic process of repair, resulting in a more resilient and beautiful piece that is worth treasuring.

The anatomical heart brooch is made of speckled porcelain with a beautifully textured glaze and hand-painted gold-tone details representing the cracks of a broken heart.

It comes in a classic black recycled cardboard gift box with eye-catching gold foil print on the lid, as well as a keepsake gold foil card inside that explains the meaning of kintsugi.

These have been particularly popular as a gift for people going through a tough time, and as a token of love and support during a loss.

Please note: all pins have been made, glazed and painted by hand so some small variations will occur.
