Beyond the Shelf jewellery is crafted from sterling silver, durable for long-lasting wear, and polished for an elegant finish. Our necklaces have lightweight trace chains made with small uniform links for a dainty look. Each jewellery piece arrives safely packed in our Beyond the Shelf gift box, mounted on a handmade backing board with our original literary designs; perfect for a unique gift that looks almost as good in the box as it will on you.
This piece is inspired by Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.
An anatomical heart can often be associated with the gruesome, such as Poe’s Tell-Tale Heart or Shelley’s Frankenstein - but that’s been done before. But! If you were looking for a Frankenstein addition to your jewellery collection, look no further than our lightning bolt earrings.

The Story
Our anatomical heart necklace is inspired by Sylvia Plath's rhythmic affirmation of being and resilience. Crafted from sterling silver, this book themed necklace is a companion for self-discovery. The piece highlights the intricacies and fragility of our powerhouse needed to produce the 2.5 billion beats in a lifetime.
While this makes a perfect gift for writers, graduates, artists, it is also a piece perfect to celebrate one’s own happiness and identity just as Plath states in her existential rallying call of “I am, I am, I am”.
