For thousands of years, jewellery has enjoyed great popularity as a gift of love. All regions have developed their own jewelry types and meanings. This pendant shows the heart, probably the most obvious of the romantic symbols - in a traditional way that spread from Scotland across the continent. The heart with its curved tip is a so-called "witch's heart", also known as a "Luckenbooth". This heart shape was attached to baby blankets in Scotland in the 17th century to protect children from the evil eye. Since the 18th century, however, it has been used as a gift of love: While one heart indicates that the person giving the gift has been "charmed" by the recipient of the piece of jewellery, two hearts indicate a romantic commitment such as an engagement or marriage. Our pendant was created in Great Britain in the late 19th century, as evidenced by the hallmark on the back. It is made from 15-karat gold and features a setting of turquoise and pearls. Both materials reinforce the romantic statement of this piece of jewellery. With its sky-blue color, the turquoise takes on the symbolism of the forget-me-not, while the pearl is considered a symbol of Venus, the goddess of love. The pendant, which came to us from London, is in very good condition. We have added a matching gold chain so that it can be worn immediately around the neck.
