Beautifully handcrafted from solid cherry wood, these split heart keychains will make such a lovely gift for someone special.

Perfect for a wedding gift, an anniversary gift; a gift for your bestie, your soul mate, your person...

Each heart is cut and halved by hand using a scroll saw. Each ‘full’ heart measures approximately 1.5” x 1.5” x 0.25”. I

t is then cut in a curve from the top to the bottom. The outer edges are sanded to a gentle curve and holes drilled for hardware.

Your choice of wording is then burned by hand using the ancient art of pyrography, into the wood heart pieces. If you would like different wording to that shown, just pop me a message and I’ll let you know if it will fit.

For example:
* my person - always
* wife - wife
* bride - groom
* best - friends
* soul - sisters
* you - me
* love - always
* always - forever

I can also add a names/initials to the back of each piece, again, just let me know what you’d like.

Your heart will be finished with several coats of lacquer for a lovely sheen and added durability.

You may have either the ‘antique bronze’ or ‘silver colored’ metal attachments (or one of each) please make your selection from the drop down menu.

Either in the notes section during checkout, or via email (maxine@belleshearts.com) please include the following information:
* wording for left piece - front
* wording for right piece - front
* name/initials for left piece - back
* name/initials for right piece - back
* one gift box or two?

I will contact you after you place your order to clarify details.

If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to ask - I’m always happy to help in any way I can.

Please feel comfortable in requesting personalization for any couple.

As each heart is totally crafted by hand from an organic material, each will vary slightly in size, shape, color, woodgrain, finish - each piece will be a totally unique and one of a kind gift to treasure.

A LITTLE TREE LORE... Cherry is considered as the tree of the heart... Throughout Japan, the Cherry, or ‘Sakura’ tree is representative of good fortune, new beginnings and revival. Folklore says that when the Sakura spirits release their gorgeous fragrance in springtime, their gift of beauty and elegance is to be truly celebrated. Unfortunately, the Cherry blossoms only bloom once a year and their gentle, pale petals surround us for a short time. It’s because of this that the Cherry not only represents beauty and innocent pleasures, it also teaches us to appreciate the brief time we share together with our loved ones. Even in modern Japan, the festival of Hanami is held every year to celebrate the coming of the Cherry blossom in spring; family, friends and loved-ones congregate amongst the Cherry trees to celebrate and reflect upon their happy lives together so far. In ancient mythology the fruit of the Cherry tree contains the elixir which gives the Gods their immortality. In Chinese lore it was believed that the magical Phoenix slept on a bed of Cherry blossom to bless it with ever-lasting life. In old Buddhist stories, the Cherry is representative of fertility and femininity. According to legend, the mother of Buddha was supported by a holy Cherry tree as she gave birth. The symbol of the ruby-red Cherry is also popular in western culture and the gift of a Cherry tree is said to bring good fortune and future happiness to the days to come.
