(SOLD.) Antique Late Georgian Diamond Crowned Double Witch's Heart Brooch
(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.
