A symbol dating back to ancient times, the stylized shape we recognize as a Heart has been an iconic expression of love since the early Middle Ages. Hearts became increasingly popular during the Renaissance, and especially during the Victorian era, when they were first displayed on greeting cards. A Heart represents love in all its forms, which makes Heart jewelry an especially meaningful gift.

The six-pointed Star of David is an internationally recognized symbol of the Jewish faith and its people. Since 1948, it's also represented the state of Israel -- a blue Star of David appears on the country's flag. Many people wear a Star of David as a daily reminder of their faith and their heritage. Also known as Magen David ("shield of David"), the Star of David is deeply meaningful to those who wear it. Star of David jewelry makes a lovely gift for a birthday or Bat Mitzvah.

While many symbols date back to ancient times, others are surprisingly new -- like the Peace Sign, which was created in 1958. A British designer (and pacifist) blended the semaphore codes for the letters N and D to stand for "nuclear disarmament." In just a few years, the sign was globally popular as a symbol of peace. Whether you wear it as a statement on world affairs or just an expression of your mellow vibe, Peace Sign jewelry is a classic look that pairs wonderfully with other pieces.

The symbol for the planet Venus, named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is also the symbol of the female principle. (Fun fact: the design is meant to represent the goddess's hand mirror!) Originally used in astronomy (and astrology), the Venus sign is used around the world to represent not just females, but feminism. Many women proudly wear Venus jewelry to reclaim their feminine power and potential.

Also known as a lemniscate, the Infinity symbol has long represented the idea of, well, infinity. Well known for its use in mathematics, the symbol actually dates back to ancient times. An Infinity symbol has no beginning and no end, making it a perfect signifier of timelessness. Because the symbol’s two loops are the same size, it’s often considered a sign of balance and harmony. Infinity symbol jewelry is especially popular as an expression of everlasting love.

The Horseshoe has been considered a good-luck charm and protective amulet for centuries. Most early Horseshoes were made of iron, a metal that was thought to have magical powers of its own. Today, Horseshoes are hung above doors all over the world -- either prongs up (to keep luck from spilling out) or prongs down (to pour luck on those who walk underneath it). Horseshoe jewelry is a fun and playful way to invite luck into your own life.
