Welcome to Heart of the Ocean Jewelry - Inspired by the Iconic Necklace from Titanic


Heart of the Ocean Titanic Jewels


The Heart of the Ocean is a legendary necklace that rose to fame after its unforgettable appearance in the movie Titanic. Today, this iconic blue diamond continues to capture hearts across generations. More than just jewelry, the Titanic Necklace symbolizes deep love and passion. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, through their unforgettable performances, turned this fictional jewel into an eternal icon engraved in our collective memory.


The Titanic and Its Legendary Necklace

In 1912, the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. This journey was meant to be a grand celebration but turned into a tragedy when the ship struck a massive iceberg. That night marked the beginning of the Titanic legend. Inspired by this true event, filmmaker James Cameron created a masterpiece that became one of Hollywood's biggest hits. While some elements were fictional, one thing remains certain: the Heart of the Ocean was creatively inspired by real historical jewels like the Hope Diamond.

The Hope Diamond and Titanic

The Heart of the Ocean pendant often draws comparisons with the legendary Hope Diamond. Also known as the French Blue, this jewel was purchased by Louis XVI before disappearing during the French Revolution and resurfacing under the ownership of Henry Hope. Despite popular belief, this historic diamond is not directly related to the Titanic story but served as creative inspiration.

The Story Behind Titanic's Most Iconic Jewel

The Heart of the Ocean necklace is closely tied to one of cinema’s most moving love stories. Its inspiration may trace back to Kate Florence Phillips, a young woman who boarded the RMS Titanic in 1912 with her lover Henry Morley, as they planned a new life together in America. According to several accounts, Henry gave Kate a sapphire necklace before their departure. Sadly, Henry did not survive the tragedy, but Kate did, and with her, the memory of a love lost at sea. This real-life romance is often cited as one of the stories that inspired the fictional narrative behind the iconic blue jewel.

The Sinking of the Titanic

What began as a smooth voyage turned tragic when the lookout spotted a giant iceberg. The collision was inevitable, and the ship’s inadequate lifeboats sealed the fate of hundreds. Among them was Henry, while Kate managed to escape. She returned to England, along with a few personal belongings, including the heart-shaped jewel that now fuels myths and legends.

The Heart of the Ocean Pendant

No one knows exactly what materials were used in the original pendant. Some claim it was a sapphire, others believe it may have featured early synthetic gems. Regardless, the romance of the story convinces many that it was a jewel of the highest craftsmanship. That mystery keeps the legend alive.

Replicas of the Iconic Necklace

The Titanic necklace’s fame inspired jewelers around the world. While some use glass, others craft versions in high-quality crystal including our own. Fun fact: the film prop itself was made with cubic zirconia. Our version, however, is crafted with a brilliant premium crystal, close in size and style to the cinematic one.

Celine Dion and the $1M Titanic Necklace

After the movie’s success, Asprey & Garrard designed an exclusive necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean. Although it was not featured in the film, it gained worldwide attention when Celine Dion wore it at the 1998 Oscars during her performance of My Heart Will Go On. The necklace, featuring a large sapphire surrounded by diamonds, is now preserved in a museum. Today, Titanic admirers continue to embrace this symbol of cinematic romance by wearing their own inspired versions.
