Victorian Bowed Heart Necklace
Utterly charming antique necklace dating from the late Victorian period, circa 1880. Charged with romantic symbolism: a vivid red heart, finished in fine guilloché enamel, dangles at the middle hanging from a pearl-studded bow, and two sprigs of laurel form a wreath to either side. Victory in Love; bound together for an eternity (or something similar). It's crafted in 15 carat gold throughout with a rope link chain and the original barrel clasp.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
