LOVE Script Necklace | Romantic Sentiment Talisman

The word love is among the oldest in every language that has a word for it. In Sanskrit, the root is lubh — to desire, to long for. In Greek, eros, philia, storge, agape: four distinct words for four distinct qualities that English compresses into one. The compression is a loss. The four Greek loves are not four intensities of the same emotion. They are four different relationships between a person and what they value: the passionate, the friendly, the familial, and the unconditional.

To wear the word in script is to make the choice not to specify which — to carry the word in its full ambiguity, which may be the most honest thing to do with a word whose meaning has always exceeded what any single definition captures. The script form returns it to the handwritten, the personal, the individual mark rather than the printed type.
