A circle pendant with a small heart cutout — a more considered take on the heart necklace than a flat stamped pendant. The negative space inside the circle is as much a design element as the heart itself, giving the piece a delicate, layered look even when worn solo. Built on a 925 sterling silver base with 18K gold plating. Available in Gold and Silver. Sits flat without spinning, making it a reliable layering piece or a clean standalone necklace.
What You're Getting
-
925 sterling silver base: Real sterling silver — not brass or zinc alloy — for better durability, hypoallergenic wear, and a more stable foundation for the gold plating.
-
18K gold plating: Electroplated for a warm, rich colour that's consistent and smooth. Holds up significantly longer than plating on brass bases.
-
Open-circle heart pendant: A circle frame with a small heart cutout — the negative space makes the design more interesting than a solid heart pendant, and the circular frame adds structure without bulk.
-
Sits flat without spinning: The pendant is balanced and weighted to sit flat against the chest — a practical detail that matters for daily wear and layering.
-
Hypoallergenic & nickel-free: Safe for sensitive skin and daily wear.
-
Gold and Silver options: Choose the finish that works best with your existing jewellery.

How to Style It
As a layering piece, this necklace works best in the middle of a three-necklace stack. Wear it at 16" with a choker or shorter chain above (14" or less) and a longer pendant or bar necklace below (20"+). The circular frame adds visual interest without competing with the pieces above and below it.
Worn solo, it's subtle at a glance and interesting up close — a good choice if you prefer jewellery that doesn't announce itself loudly. Pair with small stud earrings rather than dramatic hoops to keep the balance right.
The gold finish pairs naturally with warm-toned outfits and other gold pieces. The silver finish works with cooler palettes and silver jewellery. Both read as clean and intentional across casual and dressed-up looks.
Care & Longevity
18K gold plating over sterling silver lasts 1–3 years with proper care. Remove before showering, swimming, and exercising — sweat, chlorine, and moisture are the main causes of premature plating wear. Apply perfume and lotion before putting the necklace on, not after. Store flat in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not wearing. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing to remove oils. If the finish looks dull, a jewellery polishing cloth restores it quickly — avoid chemical cleaners, which strip plating faster than regular wear does.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this solid gold or gold plated?
18K gold plated over 925 sterling silver. The gold layer gives you the look and feel of fine jewellery at a fraction of the cost. With proper care, the plating lasts 1–3 years of daily wear.
Is this hypoallergenic?
Yes — 925 sterling silver base, nickel-free, and safe for sensitive skin including healed piercings.
What length is the chain?
16 inches with a 2-inch extender, giving you the option to wear it at 16" (collarbone) or 18" (slightly lower). The extender clasp lets you adjust without tools.
Can I layer this with other necklaces?
Yes — it's designed for layering. The 16" length works as the middle layer in a three-necklace stack. Pair with a shorter choker above and a longer pendant below. The circular frame adds visual interest without competing with other pieces.
Will it tarnish?
With proper care, no. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and chlorine, and store in a dry pouch. The 18K plating over sterling silver resists tarnishing well when cared for correctly.
Is this a good gift?
Yes — a circle heart necklace is a meaningful and wearable jewellery gift. Personal without being over-the-top, suitable for everyday wear, and available in Gold and Silver to suit different preferences. Works for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and any occasion where you want to give something thoughtful.
