Lover’s Eye jewelry was popular in 18th century Europe, especially England. They were delicate miniature portraits of eyes painted on ivory and worn as brooches, rings, pendants, etc. They usually depicted the eye of a lover, and were worn by all genders. Perhaps Crowley and Aziraphale had them; maybe one of them even started the trend so that they could have a piece of their darling with them at all times.
Aziraphale even secretly had a larger one commissioned so he could also see that lovely crimson hair whenever he wanted.

Antique lover’s eye jewelry
Per KatieConsiders.com
“lover’s eye jewelry was popular in the late 1700s and early 1800s when stylish aristocratic Englishmen and women often wore the miniature portraits depicting their spouse or lover. Because the tiny watercolors revealed only the eye, the subject’s identity could be kept secret. Typically painted on ivory, the portraits were fashioned as brooches, rings, pendants, and lockets”
