Despite there being cherub and Cupid jewelry dotted throughout history, putti depictions were prolific in the Georgian and Victorian eras. During these times, jewelry was often sentimental and full of coded imagery; cherubs were a well loved symbol to use as shorthand for anything to do with love. 

Originally limited to profane passions in symbolism, putti came to represent the sacred cherub, and in Baroque art, putti came to represent the omnipresence of God.
