One day a child was born, too early, too small but loved as much as any child could be

The Preemie Purple Heart

The Preemie Purple Heart is a symbol of unity, love, and understanding among families like ours. As it has for many years now, the Heart keepsake provides a meaningful way to commemorate our personal experiences and express our gratitude, understanding, and compassion for others in these trying times.

Glass

Preemie hearts are handcrafted, made of Czech glass and sterling silver. Like all preemies it is strong, but not so strong to withstand a crushing blow.

Purple

Purple is regal; the color of kings and queens, which all preemies are.
