There is nothing more romantic than wearing a reminder of someone you love close to your heart. For centuries, the heart pendant has been a lady’s favorite accessory to do just that.
Evolving from ancient amulets, European designs for heart jewels appear to date to the 16th century, when small pendants in heart like shapes with secret compartments were worn to conceal good luck charms, small fabric squares soaked in perfume to ward off the poor smells on public thoroughfares, painted portraits, and even, on occasion, poison.
This superb Victorian example features a puffy heart construction with a tourmaline and pearls upon the face.
