What Does Heart of Gold Mean?
The phrase "heart of gold," describes someone good and kind. Naturally, having a heart literally made from metal would be useless at pumping blood. But metaphors are just that -- acts of imagination and poetry.
The expression "heart of gold" was recorded in Shakespeare's play "Henry V," back in the 1500s when the phrase was in fashion. Then of course Neil Young wrote the hit song "Heart of Gold" much, much MUCH later in the 1970s, in which he is searching for a heart of gold in the lyrics. Who knows if he ever finds it?
Why is "Heart of Gold" used to describe both nurses and prostitutes? Well, they both work hard at difficult jobs. Work for which people are grateful. And a compliment is easier than money. Or perhaps nurses and sex workers both need to harden their hearts into tough metal objects to deal with all the madness they experience at work. Who knows?
Whether you're trying to soften a hard heart or just expressing gratitude for a job well done, you can't go wrong with our shiny gold heart as a pin, gold metallic plush or golden keychain. The heart of gold enamel pin is our personal favorite to give to nurses and hospital staff after getting great medical care!
