One of the most popular heart jewelry is the heart pendant.
Types of hanging heart pendants

A pendant is a pendant that hangs loosely from a chain around the neck. This gives the pendant movement and allows light to be reflected by the stones or metal.
Solid Heart Pendants

Pendants with solid hearts are a classic style of jewelry. These are hearts that have a completely solid shape. They can be placed with precious stones or left plain. These pendants are usually hung on chains, however an interesting alternative is when the heart is pierced in the middle and hung on the chain this way.
Necklace with heart that swings freely in the chain

Necklaces with hearts that move freely in the chain are created by an outline of a heart. The chain passes through the center of the heart, which means that the heart can slide around the chain. These are a popular style of jewelry.
Heart necklace photos

Another popular heart-shaped pendant is the heart-shaped photo pendant. The leaves of the heart open to allow images or photos to be placed inside. These are often loved ones which means that the shape of the heart becomes even more important.
Materials

Heart-shaped Tuff Necklaces can be made from almost any type of material, from the most precious metals to fun and funky plastics. Hearts are also often adorned with precious stones, diamonds or pearls.

Some of the most popular materials from which heart-shaped pendants are made include:

Gold: Gold has a timeless elegance and golden hearts look wonderful. Gold is easy to care for and has a long shelf life. A popular variation of traditional yellow gold is white gold and there are many modern styles created in this metal as well as rose gold which is very fashionable in recent years.

Silver: Silver has the advantage of being attractive, durable and affordable, making it a popular choice. Silver hearts can look fantastic with any outfit, making them a versatile piece of jewelry.

Plated Heart Necklaces: Heart necklaces can be made of gold or silver plated metal. This is an extremely affordable option, however it should be noted that plating can wear out over time by exposing the base metal from below. It is important to ensure that the base metal does not contain nickel, as it can cause skin allergies.

Gemstones: Heart necklaces are often made of precious stones. The wide variety of gemstone colors means that there is a whole palette of colors to choose from. The colors range from the softest pink found in the pink morganite to the deep black of the onyx.

Other materials: Heart necklaces can be found in many other materials. Plastic and acrylic hearts are often available in bright and cheerful colors. The light nature of plastic and acrylic means that large pieces of jewelry can be made without being uncomfortable to wear.
