Petite, Precise, Perfect. A little diamond heart on its 18-inch chain poised perfectly, two inches from her heart.
I had a girlfriend in high school. I adored her. She liked nice things. She wore very nice perfume. For Valentine’s Day one year I wanted to get her something really nice. I was thinking of a small bottle of perfume, something precious, something rare. I went to the big department store in our city and visited their perfume counter.
I explained what I was looking for…something nice in a small bottle of perfume. All they could talk about was jug perfume, big quantities, and what a great value their quart and gallon-size containers represented. The lady simply couldn’t understand that I wanted precious and rare, not big at a low price.
For Valentine’s Day that year, my girlfriend got a box of chocolates. They were nice. She shared.
Diamond Heart Necklace
A Whisper of Love
As jewelers, we do a much better job of understanding preciousness. Gold is valuable. Gems are dear, and when we design, make, and create the finished piece, it is indeed extra special.
This necklace is made with natural Earth-mined diamonds, beautifully cut, and perfectly matched. The heart is white gold, and I think the proportions are beautiful. The diamonds fill their spaces magnificently well. The chain appears delicate, yet the chain is so well made that we trust $20,000 diamonds on it. At 18 inches, the heart lands two inches above her heart. A part of me wishes I was still in high school.
The chain slides freely through the heart. Wear diamonds front, formal. Flip to the backside, the heart is plain polished smooth for casual wear.
Why We Love This Piece
It’s petite, subtle, bigger than a ladybug; it’s small, not overly done. It’s a whisper of love. It’s a nudge, a reminder that she is adored. Size is easy to wear. It’s not a billboard or a flashing sign. It’s tasteful. It’s subtle. It’s about love. It tells the world someone truly cares.
