When presenting a heart themed post, one runs the risk of falling into the kitch and sappy category. The market is saturated with romantic heart shape Victoriana of all sorts, so I will deliberately stay away from this style. The heart is, to me, the shape that is truly universally understood by all human beings on this planet and is absolutely timeless.
Astrid gave me this big chunky vintage necklace from Things of Splendor. A huge metal heart set with big facetted glass stones. Perfect for a super simple little black or white dress. Another Etsy shop owned by a fashion lover and collector of all things splendid.
Other heart items I love, found on Etsy:
This impeccably crafted ceramic pendent from Studio Khan. You have to snap the nodules apart and reconnect them to shape the heart. The chain comes from inside the pieces - so clever.
The Dusty Raven offers barb wire hearts for your vines to grow on. Jewellery for your house and garden.

Because our hearts can also be broken. This Art Nouveau style black mourning pin at Sweet Sweet Vintage is elegantly understated.
How adorable is that! Look carefully, you will see the smallest hearts ever crafted on jewellery at Kiss the Frog Studio .
Diamond heart at Aawsomblei , need I say more, except...
HAPPY VALENTINE'S !
