Crystal Sparkle Heart Bear Charm - Gold Steel Pave - 11x14mm

Crystal Sparkle Heart Bear Charm - A Heart Held Against the Chest

A small pave bear holding a single heart. The head, arms and legs are set with around 35 clear crystals, and at the centre of the chest sits one larger heart-cut stone, raised in a bezel ringed with fine gold beading like a tiny frame. At 10.7mm wide, 14.4mm tall and 6.5mm deep, weighing 2.5g in gold-tone stainless steel, it is compact enough to layer but has a clear focal point.

That contrast between many small stones and one larger cut one is what gives the piece its structure. Pave alone reads as texture; a solitaire alone reads as formal. Put them together and the eye travels - across the sparkle, then in to the heart, which is exactly the order you want it read. It makes the meaning specific rather than general: not just a bear, but a bear carrying something. A good centre for a JewelBuild™ stack, and an easy piece to give at Valentine's, an anniversary or a first birthday.

FAQs

1. Are these real diamonds?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. These are clear crystal stones, individually set - the same technique used for fine pave, with a costume stone. The heart is a faceted heart-cut crystal, not a diamond. The honesty is so you know exactly what you are buying and how to care for it.

2. What does a bear holding a heart mean?
Bears carry strength and protection in most traditions and comfort in nearly all of them; the heart makes the sentiment explicit rather than implied. It is the version to choose when the piece is meant to say something particular to one person. Explore the meanings behind our motifs at JewelMotif™.

3. Is the centre stone secure?
It sits in a raised bezel rather than on claws, which is the more protective of the two settings - the metal wraps the girdle of the stone all the way round, so there is nothing to snag on a sleeve and nothing to bend out of place.

4. Does it react to a magnet?
No - this one tests fully non-magnetic. Some of our other steel charms show a faint pull, which is normal for cast stainless steel and not a sign of a cheaper metal. Full explanation in Is Magnetic Steel Jewellery Fake?.

5. How does it attach?
It comes on a jump ring, which sits over a chain link or a charm carrier. If you would rather have it ready to clip on and off by hand, we can add a small lobster clasp - just ask when you order.

6. Is it suitable as a gift?
It is one of the most giftable pieces we make. Every order arrives gift-ready - see JewelGift™.

How to Style the Crystal Sparkle Heart Bear

Because it already contains its own focal point, this bear does not need help - wear it alone on a fine chain and let the heart do the work. In a stack, put plain links or a smooth charm beside it rather than another heavily set piece, so the centre stone stays the brightest thing on the wrist. For a matched pair, the Crystal Solitaire Heart Bear carries the same heart on a polished body. Browse the whole MiniCharm™ range, or start your stack at JewelBuild™.
