Six hand-carved soapstone hearts in deep indigo blue, each etched with a different white motif — spirals, sunbursts, polka dots, tiny hearts, and a fern. The heart shape has long stood for love, gratitude, and connection. Keep one on a nightstand, slip one into a pocket, or give them away one at a time to people you’re grateful for.
Details
- Design: Six plump hearts in deep indigo blue, each etched with a different white motif — spirals, sunbursts, polka dots, tiny hearts, and a delicate fern
- Size: Approx. 2 x 2 x 1.5 inches each
- Material: Kisii soapstone, hand-carved and hand-painted
- Included: Set of 6 hearts, six distinct etched patterns
- Care: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water and household cleaners, as soapstone is naturally porous
- Origin: Hand-carved in Kenya
- Note: Each set is hand-carved by artisans, so etching, color, and pattern repeats vary slightly from stone to stone, with occasional natural marks that are part of its character
Meaning & Intention
In Kenya’s Kisii Hills, soapstone carving is a craft passed down through generations. Each heart holds the trace of a hand that shaped it, no two lines quite the same.
The heart is one of the oldest shorthand symbols for what words often miss: love, gratitude, and the bond between people. Multiplied into six, it becomes something to share rather than keep.
The etched motifs echo the natural world the stone was drawn from. Spirals suggest growth and continuity, dotted patterns fall like scattered blessings, a fern unfurls.
Small enough to hold in the palm, each heart offers a soft, tactile pause before being set back down.

Questions & Guidance
Do the six hearts come with matching motifs across sets?
No two sets are identical. Each includes six assorted etched patterns, and because they are hand-carved, some designs may repeat within a set.
Are they meant to be kept together or given away?
Either works. Some people keep the set as a small collection on a shelf. Others hand them out one at a time to people they are grateful for.
Can I use one as a meditation touchstone?
Yes. The palm-sized shape sits well in the hand. Hold one for a slow breath and name what you feel grateful for, or repeat the suggested mantra.
