A darling little Victorian sterling silver sweetheart brooch with a domed top that is hand-engraved in an ivy pattern and set with a little natural pearl.
A pretty pie crust scalloped border frames the outer edge accented in silver beads. The clinging ivy symbolised everlasting love and affection to the sentimental Victorians so these charming little brooches were often given as love tokens to sweethearts and wives.
The brooch is hollow so it is puffy and dimensional, it has a sturdy pin back with a t-hinge and c-clasp that is in perfect working order.
If you are looking for an elegant antique piece that will lift your lapel out of the doldrums then this may be the one for you. A sweet sentimental silver accent accessory good for the gents and the ladies.
