Victorian 15k Gold Diamond and Sapphire Sweetheart Brooch

Victorians loved hiding meanings in their jewelry and this brooch is not exception. This 15k yellow gold sweetheart brooch features two hearts adorned with a diamond and sapphire presumably for the months of April and September. The ivy leaf, a common Victorian motif represents wedded love and fidelity and the figure eight symbol representing forever and eternity. A lovely sentimental piece of a love story from over a century ago.
