Pieces of jewellery are often tokens of love—and sometimes this is quite obvious! Such is the case with this pendant, which we discovered in London. This delicate piece of jewellery is crafted from gold. At its center hangs a sun-yellow citrine, faceted into the shape of a romantic heart. From the design, built up of curving bars, hang freely suspended pearls in shimmering white. Five sparkling diamonds enliven the design with star-bright reflections of light. Pearls were particularly popular as everyday jewelry in Victorian England. As an attribute of Venus, the goddess of love, they were considered an expression of love, and this piece of jewellery was likely a gift of love as well. A loop, also set with small pearls, leads to the delicate anchor chain that we have added to the pendant. Based on the craftsmanship, the rich pearl setting, and the design language of the piece, we date the pendant c. 1900.

The heart, the most romantic of all symbols, appears time and again in jewellery from the 19th and early 20th centuries—jewellery from an era that so often sought to convey sentimental messages. We most commonly find it crafted in gold, in the form of a locket or pendant. It was less common during this period to find it used as a cut for a gemstone.
