Heart jewelry: 9 DIY ideas for creating trendy jewelry

Once again this season, heart-shaped jewelry reinvents the codes of elegance, joining the trend for DIY creations imbued with sentiment and delicacy. Long labeled "kitsch" or considered too "girly", heart-shaped jewelry is now trendy and fashionable. On our wrists, around our necks or in our ears, they're the perfect celebration of love and friendship. And it's not for nothing that the famous American jewelry house Tiffany & Co. has made them one of its best-sellers for several years now.

A little bird tells us that we haven't finished putting love everywhere in our jewelry. And not just for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or birthdays!

That's why we've selected 9 DIY jewelry ideas featuring the heart pattern. Which one will you choose to create today? For even more inspiration, visit our "Tutorials" section and let yourself be seduced by our costume jewelry designs celebrating love and tenderness.

Heart-shaped earrings

Create heart-shaped ear rings for a soft, everyday look. Adding a touch of love to your style is simple: just add a heartpendant or charm to an ear stud or creole.
For budding weavers, consider making a pretty pair of heart-patterned Brick Stitch weave earrings.

A heart bracelet for women

Bracelets with hearts, whether textured or personalized, captivate with their elegance and meaning. Charms-stylebracelets for women are very fashionable and easy to make: simply attach small hearts and other shapes to a bracelet to be personalized and you've got the perfect piece of jewelry. Wear them alone or in an accumulation for a fashionable effect.
For other trendy ideas, opt for the ex-voto heart. Full of charm and more original than a classic heart, the ex voto will add a touch of pep to your designs! You can also use pretty gemstone hearts to add softness to your bracelets, or go for a more summery look by combining chain, bandana and sequined hearts.

A heart necklace

The heart necklace is an iconic piece of everyday jewelry that's just as elegant for everyday wear as it is for evening wear. Suspend a heart pendant from a gold-plated stainless steel chain to create a durable, long-lasting piece of jewelry. Choose a bold crystal heart with pearlized beads to catch the eye, or a minimalist pendant at the end of a chain for irresistible simplicity.
For on-trend jewelry, opt for charm necklaces! Whether you hang the charms from a chain, a ribbon or between beads, the result is always full of charm.

What materials should I use to create heart jewelry?

On our site, you'll find a wide variety of materials to create heart-shaped jewelry, each offering a unique style and texture:

• Gemstones: natural stones add a touch of color and authenticity, allowing you to further personalize your creations. You can, for example, choose the stone according to the birth calendar or from our gemstone guide.

• Stainless steel: stainless steel has a unique, modern lustre, making it suitable for contemporary jewelry. Interestingly, it can be combined with other materials, such as gemstones, glass, mother-of-pearl or resin elements to create unique creations.
• Crystal: jewelry with crystal hearts combines the delicacy of the heart shape with the sparkle and brilliance of crystals. Using crystal hearts for your jewelry creations can add a touch of elegance and romance, perfect for special occasions or as a symbol of affection.
• Acrylic or resin: acrylic and resin offer an attractive combination of lightness and color variety for creating heart-shaped jewelry. This material is particularly advantageous for earrings and necklaces, which can be worn all day long without discomfort.
