Heart pendants and charms in solid 14K gold and .925 sterling silver — the shape that needs no explaining, and the one bought most often for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a first serious gift.
Designs. Heart design pendants covers the full range: open hearts, puffed and 3-D hearts with depth, filigree and openwork, mother-and-child hearts, floral cut-outs and love knots.
Choosing one. A plain polished heart suits everyday wear and layers with anything. An open-back or filigree heart reads larger for its weight. A puffed heart has presence but sits further from the skin.
Engraving. Many smooth-backed hearts take an engraving — a date, two initials, a short message.
See also two-tone gold heart pendants, yellow gold heart charms, silver heart pendants and break apart hearts. Pair with a gold chain or silver chain.
