Rochard Sweet 16 Heart Porcelain Limoges Box

A heart marked Sweet Sixteen celebrates one of the most anticipated birthdays of all. Rochard made this porcelain Limoges box and decorated it by hand in Limoges, France, as a lasting reminder of the big day.

Sixteen Candles

Turning sixteen often brings a first car, a first job and a party to remember. This Rochard heart turns that milestone into something to keep long after the cake is gone. Each heart is painted by hand, so the finished pieces carry small variations.

• Starts a collection of milestone heart boxes

The Party to Remember

Give it at the sweet sixteen party, tuck a pair of earrings or a first car key inside, or present it at a family dinner. It also suits a quinceanera guest looking for something different, a godparent marking a birthday, or a grandmother starting a tradition of milestone boxes. Set it on a dresser, a vanity or a bedroom bookshelf. Many young collectors keep their sweet sixteen heart for decades, and some later give one to their own daughters.
