Baubles, Bling and Heart-shaped Things
My jewelry career began twenty-nine years ago in 1995. I can honestly say that for at least twenty-seven of those years, I have loathed heart-shaped jewelry. I had a completely dismissive, negative blanket-type attitude about it. In my mind, it was all bad.
Over the past two years, my outlook has thawed. We’ve had a handful of really great estate pieces that gave me a nudge in the right direction – like this Victorian necklace and these Jose Hess earrings. (Both of these are available. Call or message for additional details.)
I may be late to the party, but there’s no question that I’m all in when it comes to the perfect piece of heart jewelry. There are still plenty of tacky hearts out there, so be sure to choose the right one. You can’t go wrong with our latest find, a 14-karat yellow gold link chain with a double-heart feature.
Totally reversible and oh-so-sweet, this 16-inch necklace offers subtle shine with a lovely satin-finish. The elongated cable-link chain comes together with a pavé diamond heart; a slightly smaller diamond heart dangles from the first. There are eighteen diamonds in total with a combined weight of approximately .40 carat. On the reverse side, a cluster of tiny cut-outs appear… a crescent moon, a star, a heart and five little dots. Both looks are absolutely charming!
Even the chain offers effortless modern style. It’s solid, with a nice heavy feel. A sturdy lobster-claw clasp completes the piece. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, this double-heart necklace is available now for $1,700.00. Don’t wait twenty-seven years like I did, add two new heart looks with just one piece to your wardrobe today.
