Perfect as a gift for Valentine’s Day, the heart necklace is now a trendy accessory in 2024. Today, the meaning of the heart is simple: it represents life, love and passion, even with a hint of romance. It goes without saying how it has become the call of lovers, while the declared love is concentrated in drawings or charms to wear. And it is from here that we begin to talk about the heart necklace, a love symbol that makes the ideal Valentine’s gift, which has also become a trend particularly loved by fashionistas. Therefore, to be worn year-round regardless of the “special” occasion.
The trend (defined on TikTok as “Lovecore”) was launched by a series of designers (Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and more all imagine their own variations of the heart necklace) who started to propose the heart in every sense. Between one proposal and another between labels, as well as seen on celebrities, there has been no shortage of the heart necklace as of late.

Jewelry has always been inspired by love, to strengthen a message or a declaration, becoming a statement – or in some instances – a symbol – in others. Let’s consider “broken” hearts where initials can be engraved, the heart cut of diamonds for engagement rings and, finally, charms to hang on bracelets and necklaces. A trend that is now back in 2024 but that has its roots in the 90s, when young folks wore velvet chokers or black cords with a heart hanging from them. In the 2000s, girls in love asked for the Tiffany & Co. necklace: a silver heart imprinted with the name of the brand hanging from a chain, or the “light” version with a thin chain and double heart. Today, all this is back in style and shown around the necks of fashionistas which, from being a sentimental statement, becomes a stylish accessory to wear every day of the year. Wearing a heart necklace is not only a style statement, but also a way of carrying with you a symbol of love and connection: the perfect complement to any jewelry collection, full of meaning that goes beyond fashion.

The delicate and symbolic shape of the heart makes this necklace the perfect gift for special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays or significant moments, like Valentine’s Day. But not all heart necklaces are the same. Chunky and metal pendants are very popular right now. Chains with charms are always trendy: in addition to the aforementioned Tiffany, various maisons have proposed their fashion variations, therefore ideal as a decor component. The Swarovski crystals seem to pulsate on the chest with its bright colors.
As for those hoping for a more minimalist piece of jewelry, the idea is a heart-shaped light point: crystals, diamonds or colored stones cut into the shape of a heart that rest on the collarbone, capturing with their glow. Regardless of personal taste or meaning, whether worn daily or saved for special occasions, a heart necklace adds a touch of romantic grandeur to every look and moment.
