Kit Heath launches charity necklace in memory of founder

Jewellery brand Kit Heath has launched a new sterling silver necklace in support of The Brain Tumour Charity, marking the first major product release since the death of its founder last year.

The Big Love Silver Heart necklace has been launched ahead of Valentine’s Day, with £5 from every sale donated to the charity. 

The initiative honours Kit Heath, who was diagnosed with brain cancer and died in 2025. Valentine’s Day would have marked Heath’s birthday, and 2026 would have been his 70th year.

The necklace features a heart motif designed to separate from its outer heart-shaped outline. 

The company said the piece reflects its focus on “bold design, craftsmanship and emotional connection”.

The charity partnership would form part of Kit Heath’s wider efforts to honour its founder’s legacy while continuing to develop new collections rooted in the brand’s design values.

Katie Nickell, who now leads the brand, said: “The Big Love Silver Heart represents the spirit of Kit Heath – bold, expressive, and always crafted with care. It’s a piece that speaks to both the artistry of jewellery and the meaningful cause we are championing this year.”
