Why Heart Jewellery Is Everywhere in 2026
The heart has made a confident return and in 2026, it feels cooler, bolder and far more intentional.
This season’s heart jewellery isn’t about grand gestures or obvious romance. Instead, it’s part of a wider shift towards playful jewellery that feels personal, layered and lived-in.
At Galio Jewellers, we’re seeing hearts worn in ways that feel modern and expressive: sculptural pendants, tactile charms and nostalgic silhouettes that feel chosen, not styled.
A Familiar Motif, Reimagined
The heart has always been jewellery’s most universal symbol, but its 2026 glow-up is all about how it’s worn. Today’s designs are less polished and more characterful, they have been created to be layered, mixed and made your own.
Rather than delicate, decorative pieces, this year’s hearts feel stronger and more confident. They’re worn on cords, chunky chains or layered with other charms, creating looks that feel instinctive rather than overthought.
The Heart Jewellery Trends to Know This Year
Bold, Sculptural Hearts
One of the biggest shifts we’re seeing is scale. Hearts are getting bigger, heavier and more sculptural. The new heart themed jewellery from Sif Jakobs uses three-dimensional forms in gold or silver that feel almost like wearable objects. These pieces work beautifully worn alone, sitting confidently at the centre of a look.
Layered, Collected Styling
Layering remains central to how heart jewellery is worn in 2026. Hearts are mixed with chunky chains, textured links and other charms to create a look that feels collected rather than coordinated. The result is playful, expressive and completely individual.
Silver’s Return
While gold continues to be a favourite, silver is having a real moment. Cool-toned silver hearts feel fresh and modern, whether styled minimally or worn as bold sculptural statements. Mixing metals is also firmly back, adding depth and contrast to layered looks.
How to Wear Heart Jewellery Now
The key to wearing heart jewellery in 2026 is intention. A single oversized heart on a simple chain feels effortless and modern. Layered hearts create a more expressive, magazine-style look. Smaller metallic designs work beautifully for everyday wear, while larger sculptural pieces naturally become the focal point of an outfit.
It’s less about rules and more about choosing pieces that feel meaningful and wearable, and styling them in a way that feels true to you.
