In the late 19th century, jewellery was usually a gift - typically for a birthday, wedding or the birth of a child. Consequently, sentimental motifs were very popular. This brooch does not need many words either: two hearts made of pearls and diamonds shimmer beneath a bow of sparkling diamonds. They are mounted on a bar brooch, the ends of which are optically weighted with further pearls. The outer pearls have an elegant, green-bluish color, while the inner ones shimmer silvery. The double heart motif was already worn as a gift of love in the 18th century, mostly in rings. When it was revived at the end of the 19th century, it was given even deeper symbolism. Hearts were combined with crowns to symbolize loyalty or with ribbons as a symbol of solidarity. Here too, a single bow connects the two hearts, which almost merge visually into a single element. We were able to acquire this beautiful and typically late Victorian brooch from a private German collection. It was probably made in Britain.
