Throughout the ages people have always valued and treasured heart shaped jewellery. Artefacts have been found resembling the heart shape dating from as early as the 3000 years BC. The interpretation of the heart shape as we know and love it today began during the middle ages when the concept of courtly love came to the fore, and so in western culture today we recognise the heart shape as a representation of physical and romantic love, compassion and devotion. Even in eastern religions the heart shape has a special significance. In Buddhism the symbol developed from the leaf of the Bodhi tree as the symbol of enlightenment.
No matter how it imposed itself on our collective consciousness, the heart shape is a simple, enduring and ever-contemporary design which lends itself to endless variations of beautiful jewellery.
With our combination of UK designed, handmade jewellery and collections sourced internationally The Heart Shaped Box offers a unique selection of gorgeous jewellery pieces – romantic presents for birthdays or any occasion and of course, straight from the heart.
Treasured Gifts for Pregnant Women
– A Piece of Heart Shaped jewellery
Many women receive gifts during their pregnancy from family, friends and well wishers. Pregnancy is such an important time in a woman’s life – especially a first pregnancy - as she becomes a mother and experiences her body and her life change.
When shopping for gifts for pregnant women...
it’s important to look for something meaningful, something special, that will remind her of the exciting and moving time of her life and show her your love, your friendship, your trust and appreciation.
Gifts for pregnant women are often chosen with little proper thought...
so consider choosing a piece of heart shaped jewellery that will distinguish your present from the stack of chocolates and bubble bath and really commemorate her pregnancy.
Pieces of heart shaped jewellery make ideal gifts for pregnant women...
as they symbolise not just the most obvious aspect of love, but also emotion, strength and truth of character. Generally people associate the heart with the soul of a human being and therefore the heart is a powerful and dominant symbol.
The heart has been an iconic symbol throughout history...
it has been significant in Egyptian mythology and was an important focus for great philosophers such as Aristotle. The heart also features in pagan beliefs and Christianity. There is much speculation about the origins of the heart symbol itself, as it doesn’t actually resemble closely a physical human heart; many people believe that the heart resembles the breasts or buttocks of a woman and reflect the power, femininity and curves of a woman’s body. This makes the heart an even more appropriate and fitting symbol to buy as a gift for a pregnant woman.
The range of heart shaped jewellery on the market is extensive...
which means that pieces can be carefully chosen as gifts for pregnant women according to taste, price and design. For example, heart shaped jewellery ranges from wooden bracelets of contemporary design through classic silver pendants and brooches with delicate heart designs to studded or dropped earrings.
