The Amore Necklace in 18K Gold Vermeil is a delicate, textural heart pendant representing a padlock, set with a tiny round ruby. Taking its name from the Italian word for 'love', the Amore Necklace is symbolic of all forms of love - for yourself, or another. Ruby’s brilliant red hue speaks to love, sensuality, and confidence. The Amore Necklace is the ultimate expression of everlasting love.

Majestic Ruby has long been coveted for its vibrant red colour, rareness, and durability. The ancients linked rubies with blood and fire due to its vivid colour and considered it ‘the king of stones’. Rubies are associated with love, passion, and desire, and make a romantic gift.

The heart has been universally treasured as a symbol of love and connection for millennia. Recognizing that love has many dimensions, the Ancient Greeks classified four different types: Eros, representing fiery passion; Philia, for deep friendship; Storge, a love for family; and Agape, the selfless, spiritual devotion that transcends all boundaries.

To maintain the lustre of your 18K gold vermeil jewellery, rinse in cold water and gently pat dry with a soft 100% lint-free cotton or microfibre cloth. Avoid drying with tissue or paper towels as this will scratch the gold.

Remove gemstone jewellery before engaging in activities that may cause damage and avoid wearing with clothes that have loose threads or abrasive textures, to prevent snagging. Gemstone jewellery can be gently scrubbed with a soft-bristled or baby-sized toothbrush coated in warm, soapy water to dislodge any dirt.
