It is the belief of the designer of the Loving Heart Collection that love is a gift embedded in our very soul by God.  Love is both noun and verb - given to us so that we may know Him, praise Him, love ourself and others. To love intentionally has an immeasurable effect upon the world we live in and that which is far beyond our understanding.

Harnessing the power of love and carrying a reminder of the love of another with us each day is the concept behind The Loving Heart Collection by Jean Schnaak^®.   Loving Hearts, simple and elegant by design, have been created to act as powerful messages of love, caring and encouragement when shared between sweethearts, friends and family members. 

 

Although a registered nurse by profession, over the past thirteen years Loving Heart™ designer, Jean Cotten Schnaak has spent much of her energy nursing the hearts of others through her jewelry and verse creations.  Distinquished by the metal and style elements of each of her Loving Heart™ designs, five collections have been created: The Diamond Solitaire Collection, The Five Diamond Collection, The Birthstone Collection, The 14Karat Gold Collection and The Sterling Silver Collection. All jewelry designs and accompanying verse cards are registered with the United States Copyright Office.
