The symbol

The heart shape has been used for love in Western art and jewelry since the late Middle Ages, and the rounded, puffed heart became a favorite charm in the Victorian era, when lockets and love tokens were exchanged between sweethearts and family. More in our meaningful jewelry gift guide.

A gemologist’s note

The hinged bail is what makes this charm useful: it opens, so it can be added to a chain someone already wears, or worn next to a birthstone charm on the same chain.

Care

Polish with a soft jewelry cloth. Take it off before swimming or applying lotion.
