About
The Verdant Heart is a love of jewels grounded in the love of nature.
Designed in Italy by Jocelyn Van Hoven, previously founder and creative director of a successful homeware brand in Australia, New Zealand, and North America, and formerly a horticulturist and zoologist.
The Verdant Heart is a venture close to my heart. It is in my soul (as my mother always tells me), as my grandmother was a jewelry aficionado in a somewhat quirky way. Out of necessity she took over the business of SP bookie in New York during the 1940s. Her unpaid debts would at times be settled by unlucky customers handing over diamonds, sapphires and rubies. My grandmother loved to redesign these to her taste. Some are family heirlooms are a result.
And in that vein, I hope my love of nature, design and demi-fine jewels resonates in your own way, with you.
