A heart necklace is a pendant in the shape of a heart worn on a chain, and it remains the most given piece of jewellery for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s Day. Coveti’s heart necklace edit comes from Rosa de la Cruz at Coveti, where the hearts are made in 18 carat yellow gold and set with turquoise, as in the Turquoise Heart Charm Necklace, alongside gold love-text pieces and a Sacred Heart cross. Pick a size that suits how often it will be worn, then match the stone to the wearer.
Key facts
- A heart necklace is a heart-shaped pendant on a chain, traditionally given as a sign of love and friendship.
- The Rosa de la Cruz heart pieces at Coveti are made in 18 carat yellow gold, which is 75% pure gold.
- The turquoise hearts come as a small charm necklace and as a 40mm pendant.
- Rosa de la Cruz London was founded in 2010 by Rosa de la Cruz and Tierney Horne, inspired by their own collections of vintage jewellery.
- Many Rosa de la Cruz earrings are sold as singles, so a heart stud can be bought on its own.
- Coveti prices are in USD, and orders ship worldwide, insured and signed for.
How to choose a heart necklace
Size. A small heart charm is the piece that never comes off: it sits close to the collarbone and layers under everything. A large heart pendant is a statement and works best on its own over a plain top.
Stone. Turquoise gives a heart a warm, holiday feel and stands out against gold. A plain gold heart is more classic. A love-text necklace says the sentiment in words instead of a shape.
Who it is for. For a first gift, a small charm is the safe choice because it suits every style. For someone who already owns plenty of gold, colour is the better surprise. For a longer layered look, see our guide on how to layer necklaces.

How to wear a heart necklace
A small heart charm layers well with a plain gold chain and one other pendant, such as a Smile charm. Keep the heart as the shortest piece so it sits at the collarbone. Our charm necklace guide explains how to build a chain of several charms. The 40mm pendant works best alone; let it be the only necklace you wear that day.
Turquoise and yellow gold is a classic pairing, and it suits warm and cool skin tones alike. For more on the stone, see our turquoise jewellery guide.
Frequently asked questions
What does a heart necklace mean?
A heart necklace is a traditional sign of love, given between partners, family and friends. It is one of the most popular gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s Day. Many people also wear one simply because they like the shape.
Is a heart necklace a good gift?
Yes. A small heart necklace in solid gold suits almost every style and can be worn every day. Choose a small charm for a first gift and a larger pendant for someone who likes a statement.
What is the best metal for a heart necklace?
18 carat gold is a strong choice for a necklace worn daily because it is 75% pure gold and resists tarnish. Yellow gold gives a warm, classic look and pairs especially well with turquoise.
Can you layer a heart necklace with other chains?
Yes. Put the heart on the shortest chain so it sits at the collarbone, then add a longer chain with a different pendant below. Keep the number of necklaces to two to three so each piece stays visible.
How do you care for a turquoise heart necklace?
Turquoise is a soft, porous stone, so keep it away from water, perfume and lotions. Put the necklace on last when getting dressed. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it apart from harder stones.
