Heart-Shaped Jewelry Isn’t Cliché, It’s Classic

It’s that time of year again when Cupid lets his arrows fly, and love permeates the air around us. At least that’s a romantic’s view of Valentine’s Day. Others, less influenced by the hopelessness of romanticism, see it as a tragic reminder of being single, or worse, a capitalist nightmare forcing us to buy flowers, chocolates, and jewelry.

When the season of love rears its head, heart-shaped jewelry floods the market, but not without harsh criticism. Hearts can be an acquired taste as people either love or hate accessorizing with them. The notable complaints arise from the overdone styles and lack of originality in popular pieces, hence the cliché open-heart necklace that has become the notorious fallback for gifting each Valentine’s Day season. But let’s not rule out all hearts.

Hearts are a classic staple when it comes to fashion. Whether it be in recurring prints or trendy silhouettes, they always return to the spotlight. So, if you’re eager to buy a special someone in your life a piece of heart jewelry and the internet tells you not you, don’t listen. All it takes is looking in the right places to find the best style.

To embrace your inner romantic, check out some heart jewelry designs below and partake in the Valentine’s Day expression of love however you see fit.
