Story & heritage

Verdura describes the Wrapped Heart as one of its most recognizable and beloved designs. The motif dates to 1941, when Tyrone Power commissioned a cabochon ruby heart tied up in gold as a Christmas present for his wife, Annabella.

The house now carries the idea as both a pendant necklace and a high-jewelry brooch, keeping the tied-gold gesture at the center of the design.

How to choose & style

Let Wrapped Heart be the focal point: its motif is specific enough to carry a simple black dress, cream knit, or tailored jacket without needing competing jewelry. For a quieter read, choose one related format and keep the rest of the metals close in tone.
