Hearts can be re-imagined in "so many different ways" says Soru founder Marianna Doyle
Marianna Doyle, the co-founder of jewellery brand Soru, thinks it's not just a seasonal trend. "Heart jewellery always trends around Valentine's Day, but to be honest, our heart jewellery trends all year."
She added: "The heart is a universal symbol of love, but not just romantic love, you can give a heart charm to your best friend or mother, the sentiment is universal.
"Heart jewellery makes the perfect gift because its meaningful and special, a keepsake people can treasure. For jewellery designers the symbol of the heart is a joy to work with because it can be re-imagined in so many different ways - we have several different heart pieces that all look completely different- so there is something for everyone."
Tried & tested: As a jewellery lover, I’ve got a lot of heart-shaped pieces in my collection and I’ve included those that I rate in this edit, along with pointing out their pros and cons.
Longevity: I’ve included jewellery that I know last – those that are sweat-proof, showerproof and everything else in between.
Price: From the affordable jewellery brands such as Abbott Lyon to more luxe jewellery brands, I’ve added heart jewellery into this edit that spans all budgets.
From the Ariana Grande collection, this Swarovski necklace features a full circle of heart-shaped crystals and really makes an impact. The pink luxe packaging is dreamy, so it would make an excellent gift.
This stunning bracelet features softly hammered links and a molten heart charm. It's a modern classic with a beautiful meaning. You can wear it solo without the charm, too!
Materials: 18ct Recycled Gold Vermeil on Recycled Sterling Silver
Editor's Note:
I love this modern take on heart jewellery. Featuring a liquid heart motif, these earrings are basically two for one. You can wear solo or remove the charms for two ways to wear.
Whether you're sending a hint to your other half or treating yourself to something super special, this Eros heart-shaped charm features a puffy heart shape in matt gold with an ornate border, handcrafted in Italy.
This necklace is from the celebrity favourite brand Mejuri, and if you’ve not yet shopped this brand yet, do yourself a favour and get browsing – it’s a dream for us heart lovers. There are lots of pieces to choose from but I'm really taken with this beautiful heart-shaped pavé necklace.
Materials: Sterling silver and cubic zirconia (or 14k gold plating)
Editor's Note:
Pandora's heart ring comes six colour options, but let's go for pink here! This is going to be a big hit with Pandora fans. The pink heart is framed by pavé and has added sparkle along the band. This symbolises love and gratitude.
Every collection needs a T-Bar necklace and this heart-shaped style is just the thing. Designed with paperclip chain, chunky T-Bar fastening and statement heart pendant. Prepare to throw it on with anything and look instantly cool.
Looking for maximum gift-giving impact? A gift set featuring a heart necklace and heart studs should do it. These lightly hammered studs and bestselling necklace are inspired by a heart-shaped pebble and expertly set in 18k gold vermeil. Monica Vinader is a great choice for jewellery and the royals love this brand, too.
Materials: 18k Gold Plated Brass and clear cubic zirconia stones
Editor's Note:
Abbott Lyon's Cartier-esque bangle features a pretty heart detail and just the right touch of sparkle. It's the perfect accessory to elevate your every day look.

Editor's final verdict
Oh, heart-shaped jewellery really does make my heart sing. I don't think they even need to be a romantic gift - these pieces would be lovely for your best friend or your sister or your mum. I love all of the brands I've listed in this edit. I am a real big fan of the Swarovski heart tennis necklace - that makes for an extra special present. Ditto with the Mejuri dainty necklace and the Carrie Elizabeth chain Bracelet. I don't think you can make the wrong choice from this edit, and a lot of them are available in different metal choices.
