Classic Hollow Heart Charm - Two-Tone Stainless Steel - 18.3x15.8mm
Rings Closing on an Open Centre
A broad, shallow heart in two-tone stainless steel, built as four concentric silver-tone ridges stepping inward from the outer edge. Inside them sits a gold-tone rim of small raised beads, and inside that the heart is cut clean through - an open centre you can see the wrist through. It measures 18.3mm wide by 15.8mm tall, wider than it is high, so it lies flat and calm rather than dangling.
At 2.47g it is the heaviest charm in this release, which is what the ridges buy you: real edge and real light-catch all the way round. The gold beading is the only warm colour on the piece and it draws the eye straight to the opening.

Choose Charm only to add it to a bracelet you already own. Charm + Clasp adds a small lobster clasp so it clips straight on - no pliers, no open links - and it works just as well on a bag, a zip pull, a keyring or a watch strap. Charm + Gold Chain or Charm + Silver Chain pairs it with our Gold or Silver Paperclip Chain Bracelet - fine-gauge stainless steel, adjustable from 16cm to 20cm. Bought as a set they cost 30% less than buying separately.
Cutting the centre out of a heart is one of the few jewellery gestures that means two opposite things at once, and always has. In folk charms across Europe an open-centred heart was a lover's token - the missing piece was the person it was given to, and the wearer was incomplete without them. In mourning jewellery the same shape meant the opposite: the piece that is gone is gone. The concentric rings here read as either closing in or opening out depending on your mood, which is honest of it. A gift for her who will decide for herself which one it is.

No stones and no enamel, so nothing on this charm can work loose. Stainless steel does not tarnish, rust or turn skin green. The four ridges will collect hand cream in the grooves - rinse, dry, and use a soft dry brush around the beading, which is where residue shows first. Full guidance at our Stainless Steel Care Card and the JewelCare™ hub.
FAQs
1. Can the back be engraved?
Partly, and honestly it depends what you want on it. The reverse is plain polished silver, but the heart opening goes right through the middle of it, so you have a border rather than an uninterrupted panel - fine for initials or a short date, not for a sentence. If you want a full flat surface, the Pave Arch (IHSMC069) in this release is the one.
2. Is the centre really open?
Yes - cut clean through. You can see through it, and it is the reason the charm reads as light despite being the heaviest here.
3. Are there any stones?
None. The sparkle is gold-tone metal beading, not crystals.
4. It reacts slightly to a magnet - is that a problem?
No. Cast stainless steel normally contains a small amount of ferrite, deliberately, because it stops the metal cracking as it solidifies - that is what a magnet finds. Brass and copper are entirely non-magnetic, so a magnetic response actually rules them out. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Stainless Steel Jewellery Fake?.
5. Does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes - every order is packed to give. See JewelGift™.
How to Style the Hollow Heart
Wider than it is tall, so it lies along the wrist and gives tall dangling charms something horizontal to sit against. It is the heaviest piece here, which makes it the natural centre of a stack rather than an end charm.
