The open heart is a more interesting shape than the solid heart because the negative space is part of the design - the form is defined by what's missing as much as by what's there. Here Rachel Zoe suspends an elongated open heart charm from a CZ-accented hoop in rhodium over sterling silver, the charm swinging freely with movement in a way that amplifies the delicate, sculptural quality of the open silhouette. The CZ detail on the hoop bridges the two elements - setting the tone for the sparkle the heart's wire form cannot carry on its own. This is a heart earring that works as jewelry first and sentiment second.
