Hearts & Love

Hearts, roses, padlocks and ribbon bows — the most requested charm shape in the shop, done at a scale that reads romantic rather than teenage.

The hearts here are small and slightly domed, finished with a soft high shine rather than a mirror polish, and usually paired with something to break the sweetness: a crystal bead, a rose in relief, a tiny lock. Several pieces combine a heart with a butterfly or a crescent moon, which keeps them wearable well outside February.

This is the natural collection for Valentine's, anniversaries and everyday romantic gifting — and the safest place to look if you are buying charm jewellery for someone whose taste you do not know precisely. A heart is difficult to get wrong.

Every design here is an open cuff: no clasp, approximately 2.17 in (5.5 cm) inner diameter, flexing to fit most wrists, so there is no size to guess. $30 each, shipped ready to give.
