"The Leaf of Heart" by jewelry designer Danai Giannelli invites you on a journey to explore and redefine your relationship with the world around you.
This leaf-shaped pendant symbolizes love, respect, awakening, and fulfillment. It signifies the awareness that everything around us and within us is interconnected. “Just as a leaf supports the growth of the plant from which it comes and contributes to the overall environment, individuals are encouraged by their daily choices to contribute to a harmonious coexistence with their surroundings. This harmony has the potential to lead to happiness”, according to the creator.
“The Leaf of Heart” is a subtle and sophisticated bracelet with a cord designed to complement any style. It is available in two versions : sterling silver or 24-carat gold-plated, accompanied by a card made from 100% recycled paper.
A portion of the proceeds is donated to the association for the protection of stray animals, “KIVOTOS Mytilene.”
