Director’s Notes
Tokens of love and sentiment feature prominently in jewellery dating back to the medieval period and as a motif the heart had significant resurgence in popularity in the 19th Century. It remains incredibly popular and has, over the years been reimagined and interpreted by many a jewellery designer in so many styles and forms, a truly enduring and timeless jewelled symbol which is encapsulated so beautifully by this brooch with it's romantic and lively old cut diamonds and elegant design.
