The Corezone is a unique keepsake that is handmade by a company in Poland. What’s unique about the Corezone is that it’s more than a [heart-shaped porcelain figurine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbreak-crystal).

At the top of the Corezone on one of the arteries is a hole where you can slip in [small written notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-by-notes). Your mysterious messages could be secrets, feelings, or your deepest emotions.

There is a catch with this heart-shaped vessel though. In order to take your [personal written notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posttoforever) out, you must physically break the heart. Ultimately, the Corezone is a representation of deep-rooted emotions.
