Hearts
The heart is the original love symbol, and it isn’t exclusive to romance. It’s the perfect present for whoever has a piece of your heart. You’ll find beautiful heart bracelets and necklaces in our Tempo Jewellery collection, expertly crafted in Stainless Steel.
Infinity
The infinity symbol, that graceful sideways figure eight, represents a love with no end. It’s become a favourite for anniversaries and for couples who want a piece that speaks to forever.
Clovers
A four-leaf clover is rare in nature, which is exactly why it has come to represent good fortune. In jewellery, the clover motif carries that same sense of luck, but it also speaks to growth and renewal.
St Christopher
Known as the patron saint of travellers, St Christoper pendants are traditionally given to loved ones setting off on a journey. Whether it’s a new city or a new job, this gift says, “wherever you go, you are looked after”.
Evil Eyes
The evil eye is one of the oldest protective symbols in the world. Worn as jewellery, it’s believed to ward off negative energy and ill wishes directed at the person who wears it. Given to someone you love, it becomes an elegant form of protection.

21st Key
A key has long symbolised access and new chapters. The 21st key is a meaningful way to mark the milestone of turning 21, seen as the moment someone receives the “key to the door” of adulthood.
Love Knot
The love knot is made from two intertwined cords with no visible beginning or end, symbolising an unbreakable bond. Discover this beautiful symbol as a Sterling Silver pendant in our Cheté collection.
Africa
For those with the continent close to their heart, the Africa map is a symbol of identity and pride. It’s a powerful piece that speaks to roots, heritage, and the places that shape who we are.
