This Valentine's give an Heirloom Iron Heart. These hand-forged iron hearts are crafted by Athans Cashell (age 9) at the anvil, where he heats and shapes solid rebar into simple, timeless heart forms using traditional blacksmithing techniques. His older brother Lincoln carefully welds each piece, ensuring strength and longevity. Athans finishes the hearts by re-heating and applying a brushed, hand-finished surface that highlights the character of the forged steel.
Each heart is then strung with hand-cut, hand-dyed, 100% genuine leather—creating a warm contrast to the iron and making each piece completely unique.
No two hearts are exactly alike. Hammer marks and variations in shape tell of their handmade love.
