ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Gaining popularity in Scotland during the 17th century, the 'witch's heart' was thought to ward off evil spirits and protect loved ones. By the 18th century, the shape had taken on a slightly different meaning--they were given to a loved one as proof of being 'bewitched.' How charming! This one is dotted all over with 110 tiny seed pearls, each with its own slightly different iridescent hue, and suspends from an ultra-fine 16-inch 14K gold chain. Perfect for your enchantress. The pendant is hand-fabricated in 10K gold and can also be worn as a brooch.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
