The sacred heart, a specific Catholic devotional variant, has directly influenced heart jewelry design across centuries of European craftsmanship, giving the motif a religious history that runs parallel to its romantic one.

Drop and dangle earrings use leverback closures because the hinge accommodates the forward hang of the suspended element while the locked wire keeps everything threaded securely through the piercing. It's the right closure for earrings designed to move.
