Description
The heart is soft.
The sternum is what protects it.
Sternum Vow was inspired by that contradiction: the most vulnerable part of us hidden behind something hard.
Interlocking stainless-steel rings form a heart that resembles the protective structure of the sternum. Beneath it, a small sword hangs from an embossed cross-link chain—not as something meant to pierce the heart, but as a symbol of the promise and risk carried by intimacy.
To let someone close enough to protect you is also to let them close enough to hurt you.
The heart remains guarded.
The blade remains suspended.
The choice to become close remains yours.
Love is not the absence of danger.
Sometimes, love is knowing the risk and choosing closeness anyway.
