Symbol of love, this alternative heart pendant reinvented by Nature is the perfect gift for a stylish free-spirited nature-lover. Part of the mini “gifting” collection called Heart of Stone, this pendant is also available in silver and black colour. And it can be purchased on its own or as a set, together with the matching ear studs (also available in 3 colours). Inspired by the fascinating creation of Nature, the designer has reproduced the shape of an unusual mineral found on display at the Natural History Museum and turned it into a heart shape pendant. While some of us find hearts a bit ridiculous, we have come to embrace this iconic shape when we see it being reinvented by Nature. In opposition to the cute cliché heart shape, the name “Heart of Stone” is of course a bit sarcastic, but it also makes reference to the heart shape stone at the museum.
Handcrafted in sterling silver with gold vermeil this unique and elegant heart comes on a 45 cm (18″) sterling silver with gold vermeil diamond cut trace chain. If you wish to purchase this pendant with a different length chain, please get in touch with us info@julienicaisse.com.

- Care: Gold vermeil can wear off over time, but don’t worry a professional jeweller can re-apply the gold vermeil. However to extend the life of your piece, here are a few suggestions. Avoid your piece getting in contact with cosmetics, heat or chemicals. After you have put on your perfume, make-up, hairspray, hand cream, or body lotion, wait at least 10 minutes before you put on your jewellery. Jewellery should also be removed before entering a pool, the sea, or a bath or shower, as well as when exercising or exposing yourself to the sun. Please see our jewellery care page for more info.
- Dimensions: 1.4 cm width x 1 cm height, chain length 45 cm / 18″, thickness 1.5 mm
- Weight: approx. 5 g
- Material: Silver with 18ct gold vermeil. Gold vermeil is a technique that consists of a thick layer of gold over a sterling silver base. Unlike gold plating, gold vermeil has to follow strict rules; the base metal need to be sterling silver, the gold has to be at least 10ct (we use 18ct) and the plating should be a minimum of 2.5 micron thick (we use 3 micron minimum – 1 micron=1/1000th of a millimetre)
