Where Did Heart Jewellery Come From?
Everywhere you look, there’s a heart. They’re a touch away on our phones, an instantly recognised emoji, an iconic motif on anniversary cards, and the ultimate symbol used for Valentine’s Day merchandise. The heart motif derives from the human heart – a vault of love and emotion. It’s where our feelings come from and how we express ourselves. The symbol was first used in the 13th century and was expressed by Thibaut in his poem Roman de la Poire. Since then, the symbol has been used to express love. It was not until the 14th century, however, that the heart began to look like the motif we all recognise today.
Over the centuries, hearts have become a popular design for jewellery designs and artwork. It makes heart-shaped jewellery a perfect choice when it comes to gifting on Mother’s Day. Heart jewellery can be gifted to someone to show them how much you love them, or worn as a symbol of the love you have for another person. Either way, the message and meanings behind heart jewellery are open to interpretation. Quite rightly, the symbol is whatever you want it to be.
A Gift with Meaning
Here at C W Sellors, we stock a compelling array of heart necklaces, heart bracelets and heart earrings – each one uniquely designed and many of which have been crafted in our very own workshops. You can browse a spectacular range of designs crafted from gold, sterling silver or platinum, not to mention designs featuring mother of pearl, precious gemstones, and of course, our famous Whitby Jet.
Whether you choose a design from our Gifts from the Heart range at C W Sellors or another design, you can be sure that you’ve captured and conveyed that all-important message this Mother’s Day; “I Love You”. As mentioned, the heart may be just one symbol, but it can hold very different meanings depending on who you’re gifting it to and why. Thanks to the versatility of our heart-shaped jewellery designs, you can express your love for someone in many different ways. There’s also a huge range of styles to explore, depending on whether your mum prefers modern designs or those that are a little more classic.
The best thing about heart-shaped jewellery is that you can dress it up or dress it down. You can stack modern designs with other similar creations or wear them as statement pieces. The choice is yours. To help provide you with some inspiration for Mother’s Day, we’ve curated this list of our favourite heart jewellery designs.

The bracelet features a total of six heart motifs, all set along a sterling silver chain that secures to the underside of the wrist with a lobster-style clasp. Whether worn with the other two pieces of split heart jewellery or not, this bracelet will make yet another beautiful gift idea this Mother’s Day.
