It's all in the heart ♡

Hearts will always have a place in fashion jewellery, so today we'll take a look at the variety Bad Candy has on offer and match occasion and outfit style with the right piece.

#1: The Love Heart Collarhttp://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/love-heart-collar
Probably the most overt love token we have, this is blatant in it's mission to induce the warm fuzzies! One big heart, two smaller hearts, and warm purple toned glass stones, it's the ultimate love token. It suits high or low cut tops as it's a statement piece on a slightly shorter chain to keep itself always in plain view. While it won't go brilliantly with vivid clashing colours, it does go very well with all muted or pastel tones and, of course, black/white/greys that compliment and highlight the colour of the stones. Great with dresses on it's own or with a simple thin silver bracelet/bangle, classic with casual skirts and cami's, but this really comes into it's own with a loose up-do on a big night out!





This is a necklace that has everyone oooh'ing and aaaaah'ing when they see/touch/feel/try it. You can see our description of it by following the link to the site above, but here we'll talk about what it suits. The Heart Of Light doubles as a either a very dribble-worthy daytime piece or a heart melting night time one. It goes with literally EVERYTHING, yes really. The secret in this is not only in the simplicity of the main shape of the heart but the fact that it's a light shining silver with a big clear glass heart in the centre. So no colours are a no-no with this piece, you can choose literally anything. But if you want it to shine to maximum effect, we recommend black as, classically, it enhances the silver. Audrey Hepburn style fans, this is for you!




For the alternative, gothic or period drama minded, this is stunning romanticism wrapped up in a beautiful antique finished necklace. It brilliantly merges several styles into 'romantic novel meets first love' passion. The design really is superb and unique, it suits most outfits but we do love it with floating fabrics, grungy fashion and loose casual wear as it's on a slightly longer chain. It goes better with earthy colours and darker tones. One to bring old school romantic fiction home with ♡ 





The most big, heavy, glistening and bright of all our hearts. This knockout necklace is all about the first stages of love, you wear it as a shining badge that you can't hide. It has a slightly shorter but gorgeous chunky chain that lends itself again to up-do's and a LBD. The touch we love about this is the small darker stone heart in the middle that draws the eye in. It's irresistible and goes with just about any colour, but does lend itself to smarter and more tailored wear that just make it stand out all the more. A genuine statement piece that will keep all eyes on you.



This delightfully classical piece of Victoriana needs no introduction, you'll have seen very similar pieces in locket form at antiques fairs and in costume dramas. This isn't a locket but it is a fantastic modern take on the style. The chain is long and can be worn inside or outside of clothing and the beautiful filigree detailing enhances the period feel. Pretty little glass crystals scattered over it make the necklace pendant twinkle! A little bit secretive, a little nostalgic and very romantic - this is heart to wear every day and with anything. Perhaps not a formal statement piece like some of the previous pieces, but it is that one item of jewellery you'll find yourself getting regular wear out of.
