This mother and child heart necklace turns a family bond into a small open heart you can wear close every day. The outline is drawn by two profiles: the mother's flowing hair shapes the left side, while a curve of clear stones closes the right side and the base. A red heart stone sits near the top, between the two figures. The pendant is platinum-plated 925 sterling silver and measures 0.98 x 0.75 in (2.5 x 1.9 cm).

Does a mother and child heart necklace show the two figures clearly at this size?

Yes. At just under an inch tall, the profiles stay readable because the open center leaves space around them.

• Look: A polished silver-colored heart where a mother's profile and her child meet inside one outline.
• Wear: The pendant hangs on a 16 in (40 cm) twisted-link chain with a 2 in (5 cm) extender.
• Build: The pendant is 925 sterling silver with platinum plating, set with cubic zirconia (CZ) stones.
• Detail: A smooth elongated bail lets the heart hang from the chain without hiding the top stone.

How does this pendant sit during a first walk with a new baby?

Picture the first slow walk around the park, one hand on the stroller and a light jacket left open. The red stone is the first thing you see, a small spot of color above the silver profiles. On its 16 in (40 cm) chain with a 2 in (5 cm) extender, the heart rests near the collarbone, above most necklines. It belongs with our other heart pendant necklaces, and it shares the same metal as our sterling silver necklaces. The two figures stay close to you, the way the day feels.

Made for a mother's first chapter

This piece suits someone who likes a small, polished pendant with a clear story and one touch of color. The mother daughter heart from the same collection shows two faces around a small open heart. If you prefer an all-silver pendant without a colored stone, that one is the better fit; if you want a mother with a young child and a red stone, this heart fits better.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the red heart stone between mother and child stand for?

  The red heart sits exactly where the two figures meet, so it reads as the love held between a mother and her child. Its warm color is the only one on the pendant, which draws the eye to that meeting point first and keeps the clear stones as a soft frame around it.

• Why does the mother's hair form one side of the heart?

  Her flowing hair doubles as the left edge of the outline, so the figure and the heart are one continuous line. This keeps the pendant open and light in look, with the stone-set curve on the right finishing the shape instead of a full metal frame.

• How does the pendant look over a dark top?

  Against black, navy or deep green, the polished silver profiles and clear stones show sharply, and the red stone looks richer. On white or pale tops the silver blends in more softly, and the red heart becomes the main point of contrast in the design.
