They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But what about jewelry? When it comes to heart-shaped jewelry, we think that the right piece will always leave you speechless. Say what you need to say with fine heart jewelry—words optional.
What Does Heart-Shaped Jewelry Symbolize?
While the heart shape’s origin is yet unclear, it has been used to signify romantic love and affection since the Middle Ages. Today, heart shapes and abstractions are often integrated into fine jewelry to signify the richness of love in its many dimensions. From celebrating a lifelong friendship to honoring a mother’s tender care or offering a token of romantic love, heart-shaped jewelry is a timeless way to convey a bounty of affection.
Who Should Purchase Heart Jewelry?
While it is true that heart jewelry is often purchased as a gift for a romantic partner, this kind of jewelry has wide appeal and makes an equally delightful gift for mothers, friends, or even yourself. We often see grown children selecting heart jewelry to honor their mothers and grandmothers, and mothers gifting this jewelry to their own daughters to commemorate the birth of a child as a push present.
Heart-shaped jewelry is even an appropriate and meaningful gift to give oneself. Whether celebrating a personal triumph, remembering a significant loss, or simply reminding yourself that you are loved, heart jewelry is a beautiful symbol of connection with yourself and those you care about. Anyone with a message of affection should consider heart-shaped jewelry.
Best Gifting Occasions for Heart Jewelry
There are many occasions where heart jewelry could convey a heartfelt message of care and celebration. Far from being trite, fine jewelry with heart motifs is a classic, sophisticated way to celebrate those special people during life’s most significant moments.
Jewelry is a thoughtful way to commemorate a special event, and an inscription can make the gift even more meaningful. Consider a heart pendant necklace or other heart jewelry for the following occasions:
- Wedding anniversary
- Engagement gift
- Birth of a child
- Personal achievement
- Mother’s Day
- Birthday
- Support through a difficult time
- A new beginning

Heart Necklaces and Pendants We Love
Heart necklaces are perhaps the most classic way to gift heart-shaped jewelry. From the gold heart lockets of yesteryear to today’s mixed-metal styles with contemporary lines, you’ll be sure to send the right message with a heart pendant necklace. Choose a piece with diamonds for an extra special touch.
For a classic, understated jewelry gift that is sure to make a big impact, we love Roberto Coin’s Tiny Treasures diamond heart pendant necklace. This dainty white gold piece is studded with diamonds and is a true treasure.
The mixed-metals diamond heart pendant by John Hardy offers a more contemporary flair. Sterling silver and yellow gold mingle with diamond accents in a modern setting in this open heart necklace. If you’d like to gift a full set of jewelry, John Hardy also offers a matching heart ring and stud earrings.
Heart Rings We Love
John Hardy’s Pebble gold heart ring with diamonds is a gift that will never leave her finger. This stunning ring features a subtly rounded heart shape that seems to be dipped in pavé diamonds for a sophisticated symbol of your admiration and love. This ring is also available in sterling silver for those who prefer cool tones.
Heart Bracelets We Love
If your relationship is new, a heart bracelet can be a practical and less intimidating gift option. You won’t need to know a ring size or find the right chain length like you’d need for a heart necklace or ring. Bracelets are a common choice for daily wear, making them a very giftable option. They can be stacked to change up the look and even combined with a watch.
In the case of a charm bracelet, the piece can create space for you to mark significant milestones together. Consider the timeless Cable Collectibles charm bracelet from David Yurman. Sterling silver and yellow gold blend the classic with the contemporary for a thoughtful gift that will continue to delight as you mark the years together.
Heart Earrings We Love
Earrings are perhaps the category of jewelry where you can find the most variety of designs to match your personality and preferences, from elegant and subdued to quirky and fun. Similarly, you can show your loved one how much you truly cherish them by selecting a pair of earrings that reflects their personality and the qualities you most hold dear.
Elegant and refined, David Yurman’s petite heart drop hoop earrings with diamonds are a jaw-dropping gift for yourself or a dearly loved one. The brand’s iconic cable design in yellow gold makes up small hoop earrings that hold removable diamond-studded heart charms for an earring set that can be adjusted for your mood or outfit. The matching Cable Collectibles heart necklace elevates the earrings even more.
Confident and fashion-forward, IPPOLITA's large chandelier heart earrings are the perfect choice when you want to make a statement. These hammered gold chandelier earrings, also featuring oval and teardrop shapes, won’t be overlooked or forgotten, and neither will you.
Our Sabel Collection open heart stud earrings are a quieter option that are equally fashionable. These dainty gold studs are gold and only 6mm wide. These earrings would make a special gift for a young girl or anyone who prefers more streamlined jewelry. Pair it with our coordinating heart necklace for a sweet set.
Say It with Heart-Shaped Jewelry
When you have a message too big for words, you can always say it with jewelry. Heart jewelry is the ideal gift to commemorate life’s most precious moments and to communicate your affection to those you hold most dear. From heart pendant necklaces to rings and bracelets, you’re sure to find the piece that says everything you can’t.
