Girls love hearts. Heart shaped boxes of chocolate, heart pattern clothing, heart picture frames -- it is lovey-dovey and romantic and we just love that stuff. This is why its so great that Limoges items are available not only as heart Limoges boxes, but as wearable porcelain heart-shaped jewelry!
Typically, when someone mentions the heart we automatically think about the emotional definition connected to the word. The heart is clearly not as lovely looking as the common rendering we see everywhere, instead it is quite an odd-shaped valve-ridden blob. Nevertheless, the heart is powerful and responsible for many functions other than just in conjunction with our thoughts and feelings. Our heart provides life, rhythm, and cleansing for our body at every moment, keeping us centered, alert, regulated and healthy.
The heart is not just a pump, it is part of your circulatory system, electrical system, and emotional system. The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist in the middle of the chest. It beats 100,000 times a day and with each pump it sends blood throughout the body and cleans out the waste.
The circulatory system is how the heart transfers blood in different directions in the body. Blood is brought to the heart, away from the heart; nutrients and oxygen are transported, and carbon dioxide is taken away. The electrical system produces a signal with each heartbeat, which makes the heart contract and pump blood from the top of the heart to the bottom, pumping to the lower chambers and to the lungs. This signal occurs sixty to one hundred times per minute.
The heart is the most vital organ and the busiest one. It deserves all the popularity it gets as a decorative and symbolic representation highly marketable for special occasions. We do not often think about the significance of the heart as working daily for us to keep us running. This is all the more reason to love these French porcelain Limoges items, which can serve to remind us of how treasured our hearts should be to us, if not only as a beautiful daily adornment.
