Innumerable high jewellery pieces in heart shapes have been created over the decades, but there is something interesting each time a luxury house reimagines this motif, favoured even 500 years ago and dating back to the Tudor Era.

The heart, a profound romantic symbol, captures love quite effortlessly whether it is through a rendering of carefully cut heart-shaped gems and diamonds or a pavé of itty-bitty gemstones breathing life into the silhouette. And who doesn”‘t care for a gemmy heart or two, especially one with a cool whimsical take, or one with serious twinkle?
