Heart-shaped jewellery: A centuries old symbol of love & devotion
For centuries, heart-shaped jewellery has been a popular choice, and for a good reason. As universally recognised as a symbol of love, affection, and romance, this powerful piece makes the perfect gift to a loved one or worn as a symbolic statement of self-love and empowerment. Our new ‘MOLTEN HEART’ collection was inspired by our founder, Yvonne’s, experience of feeling the overwhelming love from her friends and family following her pregnancy and later birth of her daughter.
The origins of heart-shaped jewellery can be traced back as early as the 15th and 16th centuries, becoming a statement to show one’s affection for another. Since then, it has become a popular choice for jewellery designers around the world. Traditionally, the heart represents love, affection, and romance. It signifies the bond between two people and is often gifted as a symbol of commitment, making it a popular gift to a loved one on special occasions. Nevertheless, two people are not always needed to spread the love these pieces boast. They can also be worn as a symbol of self-love and empowerment, reminding those who wear it to love themselves and to embrace their individuality.
Heart-shaped jewellery comes in a variety of styles, from simple and elegant to bold and extravagant. One of the most popular types of heart-shaped jewellery is the heart-shaped necklace. This type of jewellery is often given as a gift to a loved one or partner as it is worn close to the heart. Our ‘Molten Heart’ necklace was created to inspire its wearer to be bold, beautiful and stand out from the crowd. As a strong statement piece, this necklace features a stunning turquoise blue heart-shape stone on a glorious chunky golden chain and is perfect when you need a reminder to show yourself some love.
Another popular type of heart-shaped jewellery is the heart-shaped ring. This type of jewellery is often given as a symbol of love and commitment and can be worn on the ring finger. Our ‘Molten Heart’ ring is a statement piece which oozes luxury.
