Free US shipping · thirty-day returns · twenty-four-hour cancellation · Etsy buyer protection.
A heart set alight. An open heart in blackened silver with a small flame rising from its crown and a single red stone caught inside — the sacred heart, worn small at the ear. Ardent means burning: the old word for a love that does not cool.
From the dark register — Duskgild's memento mori line. Each pair is cast in solid 925 sterling silver and oxidized to a deep blackened finish, one round lab-created ruby bezel-set inside each heart. Its kin is Ignis, the flame-crown ring — lit by the same red.

Wearing it
Ardent sits close to the lobe the way a stud should — small enough for every day, dark enough to mean it. The blackened finish keeps the heart quiet until the light finds the ruby; then it burns. Wear the pair alone, or run them beside a second piercing's plain stud.

Keep dry; polish the raised silver gently and leave the oxidized recesses dark — the finish is meant to deepen with wear.
