Brass & White Bronze · 14 Components
The Signature Feature
A hidden push mechanism built into the aorta animates the heart in lifelike motion. 14 individually cast brass and white bronze components move together — gears, valves, and vessels responding in a single fluid action.
Anatomy reimagined as engineering. Every vessel, every contour — cast in brass and set in motion.
The Mechanical Heart pendant reconstructs the human heart as a precision object: chambers become chambers, arteries become pipes, the pulse becomes a push. It is a fusion of anatomical accuracy and steampunk craft — a piece that rewards close looking, and rewards wearing even more. Built for those who appreciate the overlap between beauty and mechanism.
Specifications
Craftsmanship
14-Part Hand Assembly
Each component — gears, valve covers, arterial pipes, rivets — is individually cast and assembled by hand. This is not a single mold pour; the complexity is structural, and each piece takes significant bench time to complete.
Dual-Metal Construction
Warm brass body paired with cool white bronze detailing — two metals chosen not for contrast alone, but because their weight difference gives the mechanism a satisfying tactile quality when triggered.
Living Finish
The polished brass surface develops a natural patina with wear — deepening in warmth and character over time. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth; let it age naturally or buff lightly to restore the original shine.
Perfect For
For engineers, doctors, anatomy enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates beauty hidden inside complexity.
Engineers & makers who love functional design
Doctors, nurses & anatomy enthusiasts
Steampunk & mechanical art collectors
EDC & wearable kinetic art enthusiasts
Meaningful gift — anniversary, Valentine's, birthday
Anyone who finds beauty inside complexity
Care & Returns
Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth to clean. Avoid water, perfume, and harsh chemicals.
The push-trigger mechanism is precision-built — press gently and deliberately, never force it.
Brass naturally develops patina over time. Embrace it, or buff lightly to restore shine.
Store in a soft pouch away from other jewelry to protect the finish and moving parts.
