A classic antique Victorian sweetheart brooch, given as a token of deep enduring love and fidelity.
Victorian jewellery is always drenched in symbolism, here we have the heart representing love and devotion, it the centre we have a stylised blossom flower representing true/pure love. On each side we have an ivy leaf representing fidelity and affectional attachment. Together they translate into a secret message along the lines of "My love it true, I will remain faithful and devoted to you forever"
A lovely piece of history to wear for years to come.
