The "Flemish heart" (or Vlaams hart) is part of an old Belgian tradition that began in the late 18th century. These are large pendants in several parts that form a large heart from filigree tendrils under a crown. They were usually set with small diamonds and made of silver and gold. With its heart shape, the pendant celebrates the triumph of love - but a special form of love is meant: in Belgium, these hearts were given as gifts to young mothers who had just given birth. On closer inspection, small thorns emerge discreetly from the large heart motif, which are intended to convey the pain of motherhood. Mother's happiness and the pain of childbirth are thus captured in this pendant. This pendant is based on such a Flemish heart. The large piece of jewelry is made of silver and set with sparkling rubies. Most of the rubies are synthetic rubies of an intense red color. The pendant was probably created in the 1980s - romantic pieces of jewelry in historical shapes were very fashionable at the time.
