The heart is meticulously finished with a radiant, hand-painted metallic gold gilding, letting it catch the light beautifully against its double-thick cream mount.
This organic art piece beautifully represents a deep and lasting affection. Sourced from Midland bogs, the peat turf is a physical, tactile connection to the landscape of Ireland, giving this modern keepsake an unmatched depth of character.

An exceptional choice for wedding gifts, anniversary keepsakes, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, or thank-you presents, this authentic Irish craft piece is built to become a cherished family heirloom. To make it a truly personal treasure, an artisan can handwrite the couple's names, a special anniversary date, or a custom blessing directly onto the mount board in elegant ink script at no additional charge.
Story & Significance
For over fifty centuries, Ireland's peat bogs have quietly preserved the organic history of the land. Sourced from these deep-bog Midlands reserves, the turf that makes up this heart is a physical connection to that ancient, enduring landscape. It brings a grounded strength and texture that mass-produced gifts simply cannot replicate.
To have a 'heart of gold' is a beloved expression of kindness, generous spirit, and deep loyalty. Carving this symbol from ancient earth and gilding it in rich metallic gold combines the raw, natural endurance of Ireland with a bright symbol of love—making it the perfect heirloom for families celebrating their Irish heritage.
