Heart Pin — Hematite Leather & Citrine Quartz 7 variants Handmade by Lorena Medinilla

The most powerful accessories are the ones that start a conversation before you say a word.

This one-of-a-kind wearable art pin is handcrafted entirely by Houston artist Lorena Medinilla, and it is nothing short of extraordinary. At its heart — literally — sits a metallic hematite leather base filled with luminous citrine quartz resin, shifting from deep burgundy to amber gold to forest green depending on the light. It is iridescent, alive, and impossible to look away from.

Surrounding it, Lorena has hand-embroidered a double border: an inner ring of chartreuse and teal silk thread with orange accent stitching, and an outer frame of gold cube hematite beads set perfectly around the entire heart silhouette. Every bead placed. Every stitch intentional.

Mounted on a silver safety pin closure, this piece was made to be worn everywhere — pinned to the lapel of a blazer for a gallery opening, clipped to a denim jacket for the weekend, attached to a leather bag for an editorial moment, or layered on a coat as a singular statement. It is the kind of piece that women stop each other on the street to ask about.

At 3.5 inches wide and proportionally tall from center, it wears with real presence without being overwhelming. This is the art of knowing exactly how much is enough.

Formerly carried in Anthropologie stores nationwide and Free People, De Petra is now available at Kuhl-Linscomb Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston shop, and directly from the artist's studio. One piece. One owner. Forever.
