Description

The little floating heart that never really goes out of style.

This is one of those pieces that feels familiar the moment you see it — an open, sculptural heart that sits sideways on the chain so it looks like it's gently tumbling rather than stiffly pinned in place. We keep coming back to the open-heart shape because it's softer and more grown-up than a solid heart charm: the negative space in the middle keeps it feeling light and modern, while the smooth rounded curves catch the light from every angle as you move. It's romantic without being loud, the kind of quiet déjà-vu design that looks like something you've always owned.

At around 13mm by 15mm the pendant is intentionally petite — present enough to mean something, small enough to wear with absolutely everything. Honestly that's the sweet spot we're always after: a heart that reads as considered rather than cutesy, so it works just as well on a teenager as it does on her mum. It sits beautifully on its own over a plain tee or a white linen shirt, slips happily under a collar, and layers like a dream with a longer chain or a chunkier pendant when you want to build it up.

The chain is a fine, delicate cable that keeps the whole thing feeling airy, with a 40cm length plus a 5cm extender so you can wear it snug at the base of the throat or let it fall a little lower depending on your neckline and your mood. Both versions are built on solid 925 sterling silver — the silver worn bright and bare, the gold finished in a warm 18k gold plating over the same sterling base — so you're getting a precious-metal core either way, not a flimsy coated trinket. Sterling silver is nickel-free and gentle on most skin too, which makes this an easy everyday piece.

The choice between the two is really just a mood. The silver is cool, clean and a little bit minimalist — that understated quiet-luxury look. The gold is warmer and softer against the skin, especially lovely on deeper or sun-kissed complexions. Either way it's the sort of dainty heart necklace that becomes a daily staple rather than a special-occasion piece — the one you forget you're wearing until someone leans in and tells you they love it.
A floating little heart for yourself, or for someone you love — small, timeless, and the kind of gift that says everything without spelling it out.

We make these in small runs across both finishes, and because each heart is polished by hand it catches the light just slightly its own way. It's quietly become one of those go-to gifts people buy again and again — for a daughter's first proper necklace, a best friend, a mum on Mother's Day — so if it's caught your eye, it's worth grabbing your finish while this run is still here.
