Laybys welcome! Contact Us today to secure your dream piece.

This brooch is a true embodiment of love and loyalty, as it is designed in the shape of a 'crowned heart’.

Crafted from 9ct rose gold in the Victorian era, and designed as a semi-crescent celestial bar brooch which ‘pierces’ the central heart shaped motif set with eight old Mine cut diamonds and eight natural antique cut Rubies. Atop the heart is a three Pearl set crown.

The creation of the heart shape to signify love was first seen around the end of the Middle Ages. Gaining popularity in the 15th and 16th centuries and became widely used in jewellery design throughout subsequent centuries.

As enduring a sentiment today as in past centuries this delightful brooch is a future heirloom piece for the serious collector.
