Choosing A Sweet Necklace For Your Sweetheart

The most endearing thing you can do as a man is to express your feelings and ensure she knows how you feel. Women love gifts, especially from the heart. Necklaces are a classic way to show your sweetheart how much she means to you.

There are dozens of different necklace types, designs, and details we could cover in this article that would make a clear statement of your affection, but we don’t have time to cover them all. Instead, we’ll focus on nine of the best, most meaningful necklaces that you can use to show your sweetheart how much you care.

Classic Hearts

Nothing conveys the meaning of romantic affection quite like a heart, so why not offer your special sweetheart a new necklace featuring the symbol of love itself?

A necklace that has a heart-shaped pendant always symbolizes love and friendship, but few people have ever known the historical origins of the design so adored by many.  

In history, you will find the heart to have romantic and religious meanings. Today, most people give hearts as a symbol of affection and love. Nevertheless, heart-shaped lockets became very popular during the 19th century. It represented the bond of love and marriage, and placing a strand of your lover’s hair inside the locket was common. 

As time went on, heart jewelry became known as “sweetheart jewelry,” and the trend continued to rise during both world wars. 

These lockets became keepsakes as soldiers held pieces of their wives and girlfriends’ hair inside. These lockets were extremely special to them, and they began gifting these lockets and sending them home when they were away at war. It became a sign of patriotism and love for the women who wore them.

When you give a necklace like The Heart Throb above, your partner will automatically know what you’re trying to tell them, and they’re sure to appreciate the romantic sentiment behind the meaningful gift. A sweet little heart necklace for your sweetheart is always an excellent go-to. Hearts are also a trendy feature on many necklaces, so you’ll have a lot of stellar pieces to pick from!

A Love Lock

Locks and keys have long carried some strong ties to romantic symbolism for people worldwide. Did you know there was even a particular bridge in Paris where sweethearts would attach padlocks inscribed with their names to represent their unbreakable union? And that the practice only stopped because the bridge started to bend under the weight of several tons of love locks? If you’re looking for a meaningful romantic gift for your partner, consider presenting them with a gorgeous lock necklace like the Young Love Necklace above! One of the greatest parts about this piece is that it combines the meaningful imagery of a heart and a lock for double the romantic significance!

Matching Pendants

While some symbols of romance and affection are relatively obvious, others are more subtle and hold the most meaning to those who are essentially “in” on a special little secret. Wearing a matching pendant necklace with your partner can be a great way to demonstrate your commitment while keeping them close to your heart! There are plenty of different designs and styles to choose from, and it’s especially fun to select a set that can come together in a unique way. For example, matching Yin and Yang pendants you and your partner can click together, and connectable jigsaw piece pendants are a fantastic choice for meaningful gifts.

Custom Pieces

There are plenty of necklace charms that you can have engraved with your and your partner’s names to make them unique. You can also often find customizable matching pendants to make them even more special! Alternatively, you can select a gift that you and your partner can build on together over time.
