Two words, carved by hand into a puffed sterling silver heart. "Amore" on one side, "Vita" on the other, love and life, which between the two of them cover most of what matters. Erica Molinari has a way of making a small piece feel like it has been carrying meaning for a long time already, and this one is no exception. The carving has the slightly uneven, very human quality of something done by hand rather than stamped out by a machine, which is exactly the point.
It is small enough to wear every day and easy enough to layer with other charms if you are the type to build a necklace one meaningful piece at a time. Good for a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, or honestly no occasion at all beyond wanting something with a little heart behind it (sorry, had to). Pendant only.

FAQ
Does this pendant come with a chain?
No, this is the pendant only. Reach out to us and we will help you choose a chain that fits the scale of the piece.
What do "Amore" and "Vita" mean?
They are Italian for "love" and "life." Together, they make this a pendant about both, which is a lot of ground to cover for something this small.
Is this pendant good for layering?
Yes. Its compact size and puffed heart shape make it an easy addition to a charm necklace or a simple stack with other pendants.
Will the silver look the same as it does on screen?
Hand-carved sterling silver can read slightly differently depending on your monitor or lighting. In person, expect the same finish with a bit more texture and depth than a photo shows.
