The eight-point starburst is cut directly into the surface of the gold, not printed on top. This means the lines have depth, creating tiny, polished facets that catch the light individually as the pendant moves.

A small, solid gold disc hangs from a very fine cable chain. The bail isn't a separate loop; it's carved from the same piece of gold as the pendant itself, creating a clean, unbroken line. An eight-point star is etched into the high-polish face, with four long points and four shorter ones in between. Right at the centre, a single round Zircon is set perfectly flush with the surface.

We make this necklace entirely from 14 Karat solid gold, not plated or filled. It's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength. Which means it’s durable enough for you to wear every day without worrying about it chipping or bending. It also means it won’t tarnish or discolour your skin, even if you wear it in the shower. The centre stone is a Zircon, which is a hard, brilliant stone that throws off a lot of colourful fire when it moves in the light.

This is a very small and lightweight necklace, the kind you can put on and forget you’re wearing. Because the pendant is tiny and sits flat against the skin, it works well layered with other, heavier chains. It won't get tangled or feel cluttered. It's a simple, classic compass design, just on a much smaller scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear my 14k gold Heart of Sun Pendant in the shower or while swimming?

Yes, you can wear your solid 14k gold pendant in the shower. Water won't harm the gold or the Zircon. We do recommend taking it off before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as those chemicals can dull the gold's finish over time. A quick rinse after exposure to saltwater is also a good idea.

Will the Zircon in the Heart of Sun Pendant get cloudy or scratch easily?

No, the Zircon should stay clear and resist scratching with normal wear. Zircon is a hard mineral, which makes it durable enough for a necklace you wear often. To keep it looking its best, you can clean it gently with a soft-bristled brush and some warm, soapy water to remove any buildup from skin oils or lotions.

How will the Heart of Sun Pendant sit on my neck?

The pendant is designed to sit on or just below the collarbone, but its exact position will depend on the chain length and your own measurements. The pendant itself is very light and flat, so it will lie flush against your skin without twisting or flipping over as you move.

You can return the pendant within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund or exchange. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide a prepaid shipping label. To be eligible, the necklace must be in its original, unworn condition.
