Gold Bow & Heart Drop Brooch

157B
457 Admirers

This brooch was made around 1830. It was probably given as a token of love. It is 15ct gold and set with turquoise. The use of turquoise in jewellery at that time was a pun on ‘pense à moi’ (think of me) for pansy, and set in ‘forget me not’ flowers, or just set in a bow or a heart as in this example. The lovely thing about antique jewellery is that so much of it had hidden meanings. The reverse has a glass locket which originally contained a lock of hair.
