A timeless treasure, this antique heart-shaped locket pendant is exquisitely crafted in rich 14K yellow gold, radiating warmth and enduring elegance. At its center glows a deep red faceted garnet, delicately held in a fine claw setting that enhances the gem’s natural fire and luminosity.
Throughout history, garnets have been celebrated as stones of love, protection, and devotion—believed to bring courage, loyalty, and safe passage to their wearer. The name “garnet” originates from the Latin granatum, meaning “pomegranate,” a nod to the gem’s resemblance to the fruit’s vivid seeds—symbols of vitality, passion, and renewal across ancient cultures.
The front of the heart is adorned with an intricate engraved design, while the reverse reveals a glass compartment lined with white fabric, perfect for holding a sentimental keepsake.
Understated yet profoundly romantic, this locket is meant to be worn close to the heart—whether solo for an elegant statement or layered with other cherished pieces in your collection.
