A sunny day in the south of England. Festively dressed ladies in long dresses and large hats stroll along the gravel paths of a sprawling country estate. Elegant gentlemen escort them through the park, where white-laid tables await the wedding party. Flowers line the paths, servants carry silver trays and everywhere there is laughter, congratulations and toasts. Guests have come from near and far to celebrate this special day together. And as everyone knows, the best presents often come in the smallest packages. Perhaps this necklace was once such a gift - a pledge of love or a morning gift for the wedding. Its design suggests this. A heart made of the same stone swings freely beneath a gold-set cartouche with carnelian. The piece of jewellery thus speaks a clear language of affection and love. The warm red color of the carnelian also fits wonderfully with this symbolism, as red has always been considered the color of passion. Pieces of jewellery with romantic symbolism were particularly popular in Great Britain in the first half of the 19th century. Social rules were strict and feelings were rarely expressed openly. This made jewellery all the more important as a silent carrier of personal messages. Hearts, entwined hands or now forgotten love symbols were found in countless variations on brooches, rings and pendants and often accompanied their owners for a lifetime. We discovered this necklace in London. Its hallmarks reveal that it was imported to France at a later date.
