An open heart, linked through infinity.
In 1893 Henri Moissan pulled bright crystals from an Arizona meteorite crater and misread them. Today that mineral is grown in a lab. Small stones of it line this open heart.

Six pictures. One minute.
Something hit Arizona
An iron meteorite struck the high desert and left a crater three quarters of a mile across. It is still there.
Henri Moissan went looking
The chemist who first isolated fluorine, and who would win the Nobel Prize for it, began sifting fragments from the crater.
Crystals that threw color
They flashed more fire than anything he knew. He misread them. Crystal photograph: Beeblaine / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0.
He was wrong, and it was better
Eleven years of work proved them to be silicon carbide. In 1905 George Kunz named the mineral moissanite, after him.
A row of stones, and one more
The stones are grown in a lab, never mined. Small ones line the open heart in one row. One round stone sits in its own prongs.
Linked through the heart
A polished infinity passes through the heart, and a fine cable chain runs from each side. Then the white box.
Side by side
Dispersion is how much colour a stone throws. Moissanite throws more than a diamond does.

Choose one, or a pair
One finish: sterling silver. One, or a pair, each in its own box.
A fine cable chain, with the heart and the infinity lying flat in one line on top of the wrist.

How it actually wears
A cut-out shot flatters. Here it is on an arm, through an ordinary day.
Up close, an open heart lined in small stones. Across the room, one small point of light at the wrist.
An open heart, lined in stones
Small moissanites run in one row round the open heart, and one round stone sits in prongs at the tip of the infinity. Dispersion 0.104: the light that leaves them breaks into color.
A pair, one for each of you
Two bracelets, each in its own white box. A mother and a daughter. Two sisters. Two friends from school. The same open heart on two wrists.
