The Nomadic Heart
Dainty, elegant, subtle and extraordinarily intricate, the nomadic heart is part of the Desert Rose series.
Cast from an original desert rose - a natural phenomenon typically found in the desert, a desert rose is the crystallization of minerals in arid and sandy desert conditions, resulting in these fragmented glittering angles and rose-like layers.
A multi-step process, first a mold is made of the unique crystal formation, then wax is injected into the mold to create an exact wax replica. By taking tiny slices from the wax, we then cast those slices into fine metal, polishing them up to high shine and resulting in these earthy, uniquely textured, delicate and fascinating pieces.
With no two “hearts” exactly alike, these elegant everyday chains sparkle with a quirk that captures and holds the eye. These petite shimmering fragments of extraordinary texture hang on the daintiest of diamond cut chains, adjustable at 14, 15, and 16 inch intervals.
Available in 18kt Rose Gold, 18kt Yellow Gold and 18kt White Gold. The Chains are always 14kt as it is the strongest karat for such a dainty chain, but also color matches every Gold perfectly.
Available with Diamonds, Sapphire and Rubies, or a choose the curve ball option for artists choice.
See Les Petites Roses Earrings for a full set, available with or without stones.
All are handmade to order in New York City, so please allow a two to four-week turn around.

18k Royal Yellow -
Our 18k Royal Yellow is the perfect blend of yellow Gold’s with a warmer hue - less green than some - which is extremely beautiful - rich and refined - on all skin tones.
18k Rose Gold -
Our 18k Rose Gold is the result of an infusion of copper and a touch of silver into our Gold, giving it that warm, rich, earthy quality that makes Rose Gold such a beautiful metal. The silver paling it from the otherwise ‘red gold’, the copper adding a blush. The result is what we call our “dusty rose”. Indeed this just might be our all-time favourite metal blend.
Our Signature 10k Gold -
Our signature 10k Yellow Gold is an unsung hero. An underestimated Gold, this is a beautiful, very strong, pale and creamy gold that shines brilliantly and pops against all skin tones - being naturally less yellow and brassy than the typical 18-24kt Golds.
As the flashy "Kardashian culture" evolved, the higher karat golds became more coveted, but time and time again it's my 10 karat pieces that people notice and fall in love with. It's a beautiful fine metal, strong, classy and unpretentious. We're bringing it back!
Platinum -
Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is much stronger, and therefore used in jewelry in almost a pure form (approximately 95% pure).
Platinum is extremely long wearing and is less grey than the mislabeled white gold, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold does.
Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.
White Gold -
We do do white gold on occasion, but are less fickle about the karat. White gold is actually a grey metal, and is almost always Rhodium plated to appear more white. For this reason, we tend to use 14kt White Gold as it is strong and durable.
Ring size is very specific to each individual, so I highly recommend you print out our Ring Sizer for guidance - it is VITAL that you print it out at 100% scale on your printer. Some printers automatically adjust the scale settings, so please be diligent when checking.
The thicker the band, the more snuggly it will fit, so I recommend you size up half a size for anything north of a 5mm wide band.
