Fine jewellery brand, Lionheart, has announced the launch of its new Sacred Heart collection, a series of 18K gold and gemstone designs inspired by spiritual symbols from around the world. Created by sisters Joy and Sarah Haugaard, the collection transforms timeless icons into contemporary talismans designed to celebrate personal stories, beliefs, memories, and moments of connection.

The collection made its debut at the recent COUTURE Las Vegas.

“Sacred Heart was initially inspired by our European travels and several custom design requests,” said Joy Haugaard, Lionheart’s designer and founder. After visiting France and Italy, Haugaard was inspired by centuries of artistry and the emotional significance of symbolic jewellery. At the same time, clients were seeking meaningful pieces they could wear close to their hearts—sparking the creation of a collection centred on love, devotion, protection, and connection.

The collection features reimagined motifs, including the Star of Bethlehem, Sacred Heart, Hamsa, Gothic crosses, and St. Christopher medallions, among others. “This collection is intended to unite people from all walks of life through shared emotion and meaning,” Haugaard explained.

Crafted in 18K gold and finished with diamonds and coloured gemstones, Sacred Heart includes necklaces, charms, pendants, bracelets, and earrings designed for everyday wear. The collection will continue to expand with new symbols inspired by cultures around the globe.
