Heartbeat ring | sterling silver
A heartbeat means life on a hospital ward and love almost everywhere else, and this heartbeat ring in sterling silver carries both meanings. It can go to the partner who has your heart or to a woman whose work is hearts, and mean something different to each.
Who It's For
- a daughter, as a gift from both her parents
- a newly qualified nurse, as a stocking filler
- a friend, when you have a good idea of her ring size
- yourself, as a silver ring you chose for no one else

Why a Healthy Heartbeat Is Not Quite Regular
A resting heart rate of 60 beats a minute does not mean one beat every second on the dot. In a healthy heart, the gap between beats keeps changing, and breathing is one of the clearest reasons. As you breathe in, the vagus nerve eases its brake on the heart's natural pacemaker and the rate rises a little. As you breathe out, the brake comes back and the rate slows. Doctors call this respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and despite the name it is normal. It is most marked in children and young adults and tends to fade with age.

FAQ
Which size should I order?
The heartbeat ring comes in US sizes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, about EU 49 to 60. The surest way is to measure the inside of a ring she wears on the same finger and match it to a size chart. If she is between two sizes, write to us at support@sciencejewelry1824.shop before you order and we'll help you choose. If it doesn't fit, return it unworn within 30 days for a refund and order the right size. It is 925 sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Is there a gold heartbeat ring, or matching earrings?
The heartbeat ring is made in sterling silver only. For a silver set, the heartbeat line also comes as silver earring hoops (26 mm), silver studs (11 mm) and a 36 mm necklace in sterling silver. The necklace also comes in 18K gold vermeil, a separate choice if she wears gold. Choose the finish she already wears.
Will it arrive in time, and what if it isn't right?
DHL Express delivers free in 1-5 business days worldwide, and we pay the import duties and taxes, so nothing is due at the door. It arrives in a ready-to-gift jewelry box and festive envelope. If it isn't right, our 30-day “Love It or Return It” policy applies.
Why is a heart recorder called a Holter?
After Norman Holter, a biophysicist in Montana. In the late 1940s, he and a colleague sent an ECG by radio from a transmitter worn like a backpack. It weighed about 38 kg (85 lb). With transistors, Holter and his team shrank the equipment into a portable recorder that stored the heart's signal on magnetic tape. His 1961 paper in Science reported: “Continuous electrocardiography of active subjects over long periods is now practical.” From 1962 Bruce Del Mar's company built the recorders for hospitals, and they still carry Holter's name.
