An Extraordinary Legacy:
THE HEART
of Arkansas
Arkansas is an extraordinary place, and Sissy's Log Cabin was honored to create a one-of-a-kind brooch for current and future governors and first ladies that embodies the beauty, legacy, and enduring spirit of the Natural State.
Learn more about the origins of the Heart of Arkansas centerpiece diamond, the process of designing the brooch and what it means to the governor.
The Epitome
Of Distinguished Style
Worn by Arkansas Governor – and cherished Sissy’s customer –Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Heart of Arkansas is a diamond brooch designed by Sissy’s Log Cabin master jeweler, Christo Kiffer.
Natural Diamonds for the Natural State
The center of the brooch features a 4.87 carat uncut diamond mined from our state’s own Crater of Diamonds State Park. The raw diamond is surrounded by a variety of smaller diamonds equaling 16.22 carat total weight arranged in a starburst design. This stunning variety of natural diamonds is all set in 18k yellow gold.
The Sissy’s Log Cabin Signature
A nod to the Sissy’s Promise of unmatched quality and service, and of course, brilliant natural diamonds, our master jeweler embedded a small sapphire on the back of the brooch, just as we do for many of our pieces.
An Extraordinary
Piece of History
A labor of love for the state we call home, the Heart of Arkansas took more than 100 hours to complete, and will forever be a brilliant piece of Arkansas history.
