Welcome to the Great World of Beautiful Heart Jewelry

By Barb Jackson

The heart is one of the most vital organs in the human body. None of us could possibly live without a heart. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. So, in a nutshell, it's a pump. It is a very complex and elaborate pump mind you, but just a pump. Heart jewelry is based around this fantastic little organ.

What an incredible organ the human heart is. In order to sustain your life, it pumps oxygen and blood throughout your body. Measuring only the size of your fist, it can still pump about 100,000 times a day. It pumps between 5 to 6 quarts of blood each and every minute. This equates to about 2,000 gallons of blood every day.

What is the leading cause of death in the United States? Did you know that heart disease is? True fact. Roughly around 2,000 US citizens dies of heart disease each and every day, each and every year. This is about one person every 44 seconds. Sad news...but there is some good news as well. What is the good news? This rate is declining. It's still not zero, so more work is needed, but it is good news at any rate...

For both men and women the most common symptom of a heart attack is some sort of chest problems (i.e.: pain, pressure or discomfort). Take careful note of this...women are more likely than men to have some symptoms of a heart attack that are not even chest related. Some examples are: sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, or abdominal pain.

The heart is not just an organ residing in the human body as it owns a part of our mind as well. The heart is synonymous with romance and love. Some popular sayings are: Broken Heart (meaning to lose love), Heartfelt (something that is deeply felt), Cry your heart out (to grieve deeply), Heavy heart (extreme sadness), and to know something by heart (totally memorize something).

The heart as also worked its way into our types of jewelry as well. Did you know that some of the most popular jewelry items out there today are the jewelry heart styles denoted by: open, diamond, silver, gold, sterling silver, desert, crystal, pink, glass, half, white gold, double, ruby, god's. Heart jewelry is not only fine jewelry, its cool jewelry as well.
