There are many styles of open heart necklaces, each one showing the unique personality of its wearer. Picking the heart jewelry that is right for you can take some time, but in the end you will have a piece of jewelry you can treasure forever.
Hearts have been incorporated into jewelry in countless ways over the years. This means that there is no reason to settle for a piece of heart jewelry that does not speak to you personally. The first step to finding the perfect piece is deciding what kind of jewelry you want. Hearts can be found on earrings, necklaces, rings, and just about any other piece of jewelry.
If it is a necklace you are after, do not forget that the simple details, such as the style of the chain, can make a big difference. Making sure that you like the type of clasp on the necklace can also save you from a lot of headaches later on. As with rings, you may love the design of the heart, but make sure the metals used are what you want. The necklace or ring may be a gorgeous set of gems in a heart shape, but if the chain or band contains large amounts of copper, it could turn your skin green. The same goes for earrings.
Once you have made your decision about the details, it is time to dive into the style. Open hearts can come in many variations, and can range from the simple metals in a heart shape to a more elaborate setting of precious gems. Some open hearts are a closed loop, while others leave one part of the heart unattached, leaving the heart uncompleted but suggesting the finished shape.
In the end, the decision comes down to personal preference (and budget, of course!), but there are enough styles and varieties that there are open heart necklaces out there for any jewelry-seeker.
