Georgian era 14K gold & silver diamond heart brooch
This exquisite Georgian era heart brooch, dating to the early 19th century, is a luminous expression of love and sentiment from a bygone age.
Crafted in silver and backed with 14K gold, it features a heart-shaped frame adorned with 10 glinting rose cut diamonds, each carefully set in traditional closed-back settings to enhance their soft, candlelit sparkle.
At the heart’s center, 3 larger rose cut diamonds draw the eye—symbolizing the emotional core of the piece, where love and memory reside.
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the heart motif carried deep emotional resonance. Far beyond a decorative shape, it signified devotion, fidelity, and enduring affection. Heart jewels like this were often exchanged between lovers or given as sentimental keepsakes—tokens of deep personal connection and remembrance.
Today, this antique heart brooch remains a powerful symbol. It can be worn close to the heart or gifted as a gesture of timeless love—be it romantic, familial, or self-honoring.
