The "Key to my heart" is enclosed inside a heart-shaped box. The top swivels out of place on a dowel pin to reveal the words "Key to my heart" and a wooden key in a shape cut out to fit the key. The top and bottom hearts are made from Purpleheart, a wood with a natural purple color that comes from Central and South America. The middle layer is cut from a lighter-colored wood like maple or cherry to contrast with the Purpleheart.
The heart shape is 5 5/8 tall, 5 3/8 wide, and 3/4 inches deep.
