This panda heart necklace sets a small enamel baby panda inside an open heart, a playful charm in 925 sterling silver. The panda lies along the bottom curve, as if resting on a swing, with black enamel on its ears, eye patches and body. A curved row of clear cubic zirconia stones follows the left side of the heart. It comes in a silver-tone version with platinum plating or a rose gold-tone version.

Is a panda heart necklace too cute for an adult outfit?

The pendant is small, so the panda shows up close and stays discreet from across a room.

• Look: A polished open heart frames the black and white panda, with sparkle running down one side only.
• Wear: The 18 in (46 cm) chain places the heart just below the collarbone on most necklines.
• Build: The pendant is 925 sterling silver with enamel details, set with cubic zirconia stones along the left edge.
• Detail: The heart measures 0.67 x 0.67 in (1.7 x 1.7 cm), hanging directly from the fine oval-link chain.

How does the panda look at its real size when worn?

Picture a visit to the zoo's panda enclosure, phone raised for a photo with a friend. Up close, the black enamel patches stand out against the bright metal, and the stone row catches the daylight on one side. The heart sits at the 18 in (46 cm) mark, a position the necklace sizing guide places just below the collarbone. It belongs among our heart necklaces and our sterling silver necklaces. It stays small, light-hearted and easy to keep on all day.

A charm for animal lovers

This piece suits someone who likes a small, playful pendant with a little sparkle, in silver-tone or rose gold-tone. Compared with the open heart pendant with a moissanite swirl from the same collection, it trades a romantic center stone for a character. If you prefer a classic sparkling heart, the moissanite open heart is the better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why is the panda lying inside the heart rather than on top?

  The panda rests along the lower curve so the heart reads like a swing holding it. This keeps the outline open and lets the black enamel show against the polished frame. The pose looks lazy and relaxed, which gives the pendant its gentle, playful character rather than a stiff, posed figure.

• What does a panda inside a heart say as a gift?

  It says you remember someone's soft spot for pandas, wrapped in a symbol of affection. The heart carries the love, the panda carries the personal joke or memory. It fits a friend who collects panda things, a daughter, or someone whose nickname is panda.

• Which tone makes the black enamel panda stand out more?

  The silver-tone version gives the strongest contrast, since bright white metal sits right next to the black patches. The rose gold-tone version warms the frame, so the panda looks softer and the heart reads more romantic. Choose silver-tone for a crisp graphic look and rose gold-tone for warmth.
