(SOLD.) Antique Late Georgian Diamond Crowned Double Witch's Heart Brooch
Entwined, Eternal.
Once an amulet of protection, by the 18th century, the witch’s heart evolved into a sentimental symbol of “bewitchment” by love. This late Georgian brooch is a coveted, rarer example, with two, entwined hearts, surmounted by a crown — set with old cut mine and antique rose cut diamonds.
This double heart, circa 1800, is so romantic, symbolizing a committed union — perhaps a token of love to a betrothed or a spouse.
We love this pinned to any garment (think lapel, pocket, neckline) solo or in a grouping with other sentimental brooches. Or, wear it at the throat on a ribbon choker. At buyer’s option, we can convert to a pendant.
The brooch is crafted of silver, with gold fittings — as well as a gold accent at the base of the crown. The diamonds are set closed backed.
Unmarked.
Silver, 9k gold, diamond.
Dimensions and weight:
● 27 mm long
● 23.5 mm wide
● 3.7 mm deep (not including pin)
● .67 ctw; 49 diamonds (46 old mine cuts/3 antique rose cuts); one diamond is a yellow diamond
● 5.8 grams
Period: Georgian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present. There is a very short length of chain attached (once part of a safety chain, and not noticeable when worn) — we have left this as we found it, but we can remove it for the buyer if desired (please select option at checkout)
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
