A heart chain is built from repeating heart-shaped links, so the whole chain carries the motif without needing a pendant. Superior Silver heart chains run from a fine 3mm to a 5.4mm in solid 925 sterling silver, starting around $14, which makes them easy, sweet everyday pieces and gifts.
What a heart chain is
A heart chain links small hearts end to end, so the shape repeats along the whole strand. It is a playful, romantic take on a chain that reads as a finished piece on its own, though it also works as a delicate base for a small pendant or charm.
Choosing and wearing it
A 3mm to 4mm heart chain is delicate and layers well with plain chains. A 5.4mm heart chain shows the shape more clearly and stands on its own. Because the design is the point, these look best worn where the hearts can be seen, at or just below the collarbone.

Is a heart chain a good gift?
