Heart Pendant in 18K Gold

A heart in 18K gold — the most direct symbol in fine jewelry, rendered at daily-wear scale.

The heart is the most legible symbol in jewelry. Its meaning does not require translation, and its form does not require explanation. A heart pendant works because the form already does what the wearer wants the piece to do.

This version is built at the most economical scale for the symbol — 0.9 grams of solid 18K yellow gold, polished to a clean finish, with no added ornament. The form is the form; the gold is the gold.

A pendant for daily wear, sized to layer with chains of any thickness and to be worn alone without ceremony. The heart, at its most direct.

Ricca Jewelry. 18K gold. The heart, at working scale.
