7 Stylish Heart-Shape Jewels for the Bride

Share

Over the past few years, the heart, once the motif of choice for makers of cheesy, cheap jewelry, has matured into a chic emblem of love embraced by some of the trade’s most daring designers, as the seven pieces featured below attest.

Rather than treating the symbol seriously, these talented makers are taking their cues from pop art, resulting in a slew of stylized hearts featuring offbeat materials (Alina Abegg’s blue glitter enamel earrings), unexpected gemstones (Nana Fink’s sodalite heart pendant), and intriguing silhouettes (FoundRae’s scallop-edge True Love bracelet).

As gifts for the bride, or the bridal party, these heart-shape jewels may be obvious, but they’re also inspired (using a heart as the bride’s something blue? Mixed messaging, perhaps, but we love it!). And with Valentine’s Day less than two weeks away, anyone looking to gift the already-engaged women in their life a symbolic yet anything-but-staid piece of jewelry has their bases covered.

Purists, never fear. We’ve included a pair of pearl earrings by Mikimoto that feature diamond-set heart-shape frames for a look as close to classic as it gets.

But if we’re speaking from the heart, we’re partial to the shape’s edgier persona. After all, nothing says “I love you” quite like blue glitter enamel.
