What the heart means
The heart is the most direct symbol in jewellery: love, closeness and care. It suits a partner, a mother, a daughter or a close friend, and it reads the same in every language. A heart in red carnelian feels warm and bold; a mother-of-pearl heart is softer and pairs with everything.
What the star means
A star stands for hope, guidance and the wish you make on it. It is a natural gift for a graduation, a new job or a new baby: a sign of a bright path ahead. In Arabic poetry and names, stars carry the same idea of light and direction, as in the name Najma (نجمة).
What to buyJoy Star Necklace, AED 4,200How to wear and layer them
- Alone: a single star or heart at the collarbone is the cleanest look for every day.
- With a name: pair it with an Arabic Name Necklace at a slightly different length so the two pendants do not overlap.
- Two symbols: a star and a heart together tell a story, for example one for each child.
