The band on this ring widens at the front, almost like a small signet ring. But instead of a flat top, we've set a single, heart-cut cubic zirconia right into the gold, so it sits flush with the surface.
This is a solid-band ring, cast in a single, smooth piece and polished to a mirror finish. The band is thicker at the top and tapers down to be narrower at the back of your finger. The centrepiece is a 4.5mm heart-shaped cubic zirconia, held in place by a bezel setting that perfectly traces its outline. The facets on the stone are sharp, catching light from every angle.
We start with a solid core of 925 sterling silver for its weight and durability. Then we plate it with a thick layer of 14K gold, which is 58.3% pure gold, for that deep, warm colour. Over top of that, we add an e-coating, which is a clear, protective layer. This extra step helps protect the gold from scratches and wear, and it also creates a hypoallergenic barrier between the metal and your skin. The stone is a high-grade cubic zirconia, cut for maximum sparkle.

A lot of heart rings have a thin, delicate band. This one is different. It has the solid feel of a signet ring, with more substance and a smooth, curved surface that feels really comfortable on the finger. It’s a heart ring that feels substantial, not fragile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the gold plating on the Little Heart Ring scratch or wear off easily?
The 14K gold plating is protected by an extra layer called an e-coating. This clear coat helps guard against minor scratches and daily wear, making the finish more durable than standard plating. However, we still recommend removing your ring during heavy manual tasks to keep it looking its best.
Can I wear my 14K gold plated Little Heart Ring in the shower?
We recommend taking your Little Heart Ring off before showering or swimming. While the e-coating offers protection, repeated exposure to water, soaps, and chemicals can degrade the gold plating over time and dull the cubic zirconia. Keeping it dry is the best way to preserve its finish.
How does the tapered band on the Little Heart Ring affect the fit?
The band is widest at the top and tapers to be thinner at the back, which makes it very comfortable for daily wear. We suggest ordering your usual ring size. The smooth, rounded interior and tapered design mean it shouldn't feel bulky or pinch, even with the wider front.
