History of the Heart

A heart. A simple symbol that has been used for centuries. Maybe you used to doodle it on your class notes, dotted your I’s with it or even use it today to express your love for someone. No matter how you’ve come to use this symbol, do we really know its history?

Prior to the 14th century, the symbol of a heart didn’t mean love. It was shaped more like a pine cone and resembled the anatomical shape of a reptile or bird heart. It wasn’t until medieval times that the heart started to take the shape that we know today.

It was only during the early years of the 14th century that the scalloped shape of the St. Valentine heart became recognized and would forever symbolize love. This Valentine’s Day, give your valentine not only a symbol of love but a symbol of history with our heart pendant collection.
