Most heart pendants are perfectly symmetrical. This one isn't. It's drawn like a single, quick line, with the right side taller than the left and the chain passing right through the top curve. It feels more like a sketch than a symbol.
The pendant is an open outline of an asymmetrical heart, about 20 mm tall. It's shaped like a single pen stroke, with the right arc sweeping higher than the left. Instead of a separate loop, the fine gold chain threads directly through the top of the heart itself. The entire edge of the heart is finished with a fine, beaded texture that catches the light, making it glitter without any stones.
This necklace is made from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. It's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength and durability. This means the fine chain and delicate-looking pendant are surprisingly strong and won't easily bend out of shape. Solid gold also means the colour is consistent all the way through, so it will never tarnish or fade. It won't turn your skin green, which makes it a safe bet for sensitive skin.

People choose this necklace when they want a heart shape that doesn't feel generic. The asymmetrical, hand-drawn design and the way the chain passes through the pendant itself give it a more modern, graphic look. It's a subtle difference, but it's why this one feels less sentimental and more personal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 14k gold Love Stroke necklace bend easily since it looks so delicate?
No, the Love Stroke necklace is designed for daily wear. It's made from solid 14k gold, which is an alloy of pure gold and stronger metals. This mix makes it durable enough to resist bending and hold its shape through normal use.
Can I wear my 14k gold Love Stroke necklace in the shower?
Yes, you can wear your 14k gold Love Stroke necklace in the shower. Solid gold doesn't tarnish or get damaged by water. Just be mindful that soaps and shampoos can leave a film that dulls the shine over time, so a gentle clean is good practice.
How will the 18-inch Love Stroke necklace sit on my collarbone?
An 18-inch chain typically sits just below the collarbone on most women. The included 1-inch extension gives you the flexibility to wear it up to 19 inches, which allows it to hang a little lower. We recommend measuring a current necklace to see where it will fall on you.
