Description
A dark, romantic, hand-embroidered black heart brooch with silver-color swirls and a single drop of red — the alternative to a classic red heart for someone who wears black. Bold yet refined, it makes a striking gift for Valentine's Day or an anniversary, and for lovers of gothic and rock style.
Pair it with a backing material jacket, black denim, gray tweed or a black wool coat, pinned high and a little off-center. It holds its own next to silver-color jewelry and looks sharp on a black beret or a velvet blazer for an evening out.
Black seed beads and glass bugle beads form the ground; coiled French wire curls across it like the ironwork on an old gate, a red faceted bead teardrop sits in a silver-tone prong setting, and a matte gunmetal-gray bead edge frames it all. Hand-embroidered bead by bead on a faux-backing material-backed base with a standard pin on the reverse.
Dark, graphic and quietly romantic.

🎁 Perfect for Gifting: A thoughtful gift for someone special — your brooch arrives in a gift box, ready to bring joy. Or keep it for yourself; you deserve it too.
🧵 Made by Hand: Every bead is placed individually, by hand, with needle and thread — slow, close work, and the reason no two pieces are ever exactly alike. You will receive the heart shown in the photos.
🌸 Care: Keep it dry — take it off before showering or swimming, and put it on only after perfume, hairspray and lotion have dried. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush; no water, no jewelry cleaner, no cleaning sprays. Store it flat, on its own, so the beadwork and trim don't rub against other pieces.
⚠️ Safety First: This brooch has a sharp pin and is decorated with small beads and parts. It is not a toy — keep it away from small children, and never let a child put the brooch or any of its parts in their mouth. Please fasten and unfasten the pin with care.
