Description

Two hearts, closely intertwined, are formed of diamonds and set in silver. They are held together and firmly joined by a bow that glows with the same white light as the diamonds. Pieces of jewellery featuring hearts made of gemstones were originally a trend of the 18th century that experienced a renaissance in the late 19th century. This brooch dates from that second wave of heart-themed fashion. It features slightly more than one carat of diamonds set in silver on a gold base. Its size is not too large, but the beautiful brilliance of the diamonds makes it stand out: a subtle yet unmistakable piece. For the dating of the brooch, see a very similarly crafted ring from the 1890s in David Bennett/Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, London 2010, p. 258. Beautiful examples of high-quality jewellery with heart motifs from the same period can also be found in the catalog of the London firm Streeter, published in 1898, see here.
