❤️ Shape & size details

  • It’s a 3D heart, so not just flat like a stamped charm — it has volume and gentle curves on the front and back, giving it a soft, rounded appearance.

  • Width (side to side): about 12 mm — that’s quite noticeable, roughly the size of a small coin.

  • Depth (front to back): about 5 mm, so it’s not chunky but has enough thickness to look substantial from the side.

This gives it a low-dome, puffy heart shape — elegant and not overly bulky.


Material & finish

  • Made from stainless steel (often 304 or 316L grade):

    • Hypoallergenic: great for people with sensitive skin.

    • Won’t tarnish or rust.

    • Keeps its polish beautifully over time.

  • Finish options:

    • High-polish mirror shine (most common)

    • Brushed satin matte

    • IP plated in gold, rose gold, or black


Hole details

  • The bead has a 3 mm hole, quite large relative to bead size, making it very versatile.

  • The hole runs through the 5 mm depth — meaning it’s drilled from front to back (the domed face through to the back).

  • This keeps the heart shape visible when strung, as it will sit sideways on a cord or chain, rather than hanging point-down like a pendant.

Because of the wide hole, it can be strung on:

  • 3 mm leather cord

  • Thick braided cotton or hemp

  • Multi-strand cord

  • Snake chain or European-style charm bracelet chains


Design look & uses

  • Larger size (12 mm) makes it ideal as a centerpiece bead in bracelets or chokers.

  • Works beautifully with:

    • Gemstone rounds or faceted beads

    • Glass beads

    • Larger metal spacer beads

  • Because it sits sideways, it adds a unique profile to necklaces and wrap bracelets.

Typical uses:
✅ Leather cuff bracelet with a few statement hearts
✅ Large-hole charm for an interchangeable bead bracelet
✅ Center bead on a choker or minimalist chain necklace
✅ Mixed into chunky beaded designs as an accent of steel shine


Why people like it

  • Modern, clean design with classic heart symbolism.

  • Stainless steel means it’s practical, long-lasting, hypoallergenic, and maintenance-free.

  • The size is bold enough to catch the eye, but the flat back keeps it comfortable to wear.
