Notice how the band doesn't just connect to the heart, but loops through it on one side. It’s a small detail, but it’s what gives the ring its unique, asymmetrical balance. The whole piece is built around that one connection point.
This is a lightweight ring with a thin, polished gold band. At the top, the band splits to frame an openwork heart. One side of the band actually passes through an opening in the heart's base, while the other side is set with a single, tiny cubic zirconia. The whole design is slightly off-centre, giving it a playful, almost hand-drawn feel as it sits on the finger.
We make this ring from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold, with other metals mixed in for strength, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily knocks and bumps without bending easily. The solid gold composition also means the warm yellow colour is permanent and won’t tarnish or turn your finger green. The little stone is a cubic zirconia, which is hard and catches the light well, set securely right into the band.
- Material: Solid 14K Gold
- Stone: Cubic Zirconia

Most heart rings are perfectly symmetrical. This one isn't. The off-centre placement, the single stone on one side, and the band looping through the base give it a different character. It's a heart ring for someone who appreciates things that are a little bit skewed and unconventional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the open heart on the Valentines Ring snag on my clothes?
No, the open heart on the Valentines Ring is designed to sit relatively flat against your finger. The edges are smooth and polished, and because the band passes through the heart itself, the whole structure is quite secure and doesn't have prominent prongs or edges that stick out.
Is it safe to sleep or shower with my 14K gold Valentines Ring on?
Yes, it is safe to shower and sleep in your 14K gold ring. Solid gold doesn't tarnish or react to water. However, soaps and lotions can build up over time, especially around the small stone, making it look dull. We recommend periodic cleaning to keep it bright.
How does the asymmetrical design of the Valentines Ring affect how it fits on the finger?
The asymmetrical design doesn't affect the standard ring sizing, so you should order your usual size. The ring is designed to sit with the heart oriented as shown in the photos, but it will feel balanced and comfortable on your finger just like a symmetrical ring would.
