Heart Jewelry

Seven pieces built around the one shape everybody recognises, which is exactly why most heart jewellery is bad — it gets cartoonish fast. These avoid it by keeping the heart small and letting the stone do the talking.

Expect pendants in moss agate and ruby, two elephant-and-heart necklaces, a heart-cut bracelet, and one emerald-cut heart solitaire engagement ring at $58. All solid 925 sterling silver.

The engagement ring is the piece people underestimate: a heart cut reads far softer than a princess cut, and in silver rather than white gold it comes in at a fraction of the usual cost.

Every one arrives gift-boxed. If it is for Valentine's Day, order by early February — this is the first collection that sells out.
