A heart-shaped pendant is a piece of jewelry designed in the form of a heart, symbolizing love and affection. It typically features smooth, curved lines and may be crafted from various materials such as gold, silver, platinum, or other metals. Some heart-shaped pendants are adorned with gemstones, like diamonds, rubies, or sapphires, either set into the surface or used as accents. The design can range from simple, minimalist styles to more ornate versions, featuring intricate patterns, engravings, or filigree. Often, heart pendants are worn on chains and can also be customized with engravings or personal inscriptions.
