Dating to the late 19th century, this enchanting antique Victorian heart is designed as a versatile pendant-brooch. It’s built around a magnificent heart-cut Madeira citrine, glowing with the rich, honeyed warmth of a setting sun. It is framed in warm 15ct yellow gold, with ivy leaves and lustrous natural seed pearls creating an organic arch around the outside.
The piece tells a romantic story with the evergreen ivy motifs and seed pearls whispering of undying fidelity, while the central heart serves as a bold statement of love, its deep hue evoking the warmth and joy of the heart. A lady of the era may have treasured such a jewel as a “sweetheart token,” perhaps gifted by a departing soldier or a devoted fiancé, worn by day upon a lace collar and as an elegant pendant for an evening at the theatre.
Beautifully preserved, this Victorian citrine heart remains in exceptional condition. It is a truly special acquisition for a romantic collector or anyone seeking a unique and meaningful anniversary gift - a 125-year-old story of devotion, ready to begin its next chapter.
