Valentine’s Day is nearly here and it’s time to show your loved one just how much you care. In 1941, actor Tyrone Power called upon his friend, jeweler Duke Fulco di Verdura, for a way to symbolically “gift wrap” his heart as a present for his wife (see below). While we think jewelry is the perfect gift for any occasion, a heart-shaped piece like Verdura’s conveys an especially sweet message for the holiday. This Valentine’s Day, give her your heart with this editor’s picks for heart-shaped jewelry.
