Antique Georgian Pearl Diamond Heart Pendant
A rare find, this wonderfully crafted antique Georgian pendant has woven natural seed pearls into a heart shape with a sparkling center diamond. The diamond is set in sterling silver with even the bale of the heart having a woven loop. All layers are woven and stitched to mother-of-pearl back in which small holes were drilled for the thread to pass and fasten the ornament securely. All this is handwork done pearl by pearl, which makes it more the treasure! Very hard to find woven pearl jewelry retaining all the pearls and threading secure. https://boylerpf.com/products/antique-georgian-seed-pearl-diamond-heart-pendant

would you believe it if I told the top choker is actually a bracelet? it’s 8.5” long, so I love it wrapped around the neck instead. And it’s double sided, too. when I looked in the mirror I preferred the flat side, but looking at them now I like the puffy side- funny how that can change.

VICTORIAN LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
Floriography is the 'language of flowers' and has been practised for thousands of years across different cultures. It was popularised in Britain during the Victorian era when learning the symbolism behind each flower became a popular hobby.

Stunning antique locket dating from the mid Victorian period, circa 1870. The front features a breathtaking pastoral scene, with goldfinch and dragonfly swooping through the air above bluebells and wild (dog) roses - all intricately rendered in fine enamel. Victorian jewellery often includes floral motifs, as part of their "Language of Flowers", whereby each flower or plant represented some romantic or emotional sentiment... in this case, the bluebells for humility, and the pink dog rose for grace and joy. Further to the floral symbolism (and testament to just how much the Victorians loved attaching symbolic meaning to things) the dragonfly represents change and transformations in life and new beginnings, specifically embracing change without fear, and the goldfinch for joy, enthusiasm, positivity, and persistence. So the distilled sentiments this locket represents, in rough order of emphasis: joy in new beginnings, enthusiastically accepted with grace and humility.

Here are some examples of the language of flowers.

Sunday Mourning 🥀 I found these beautiful Victorian hand molds and knew I had to make a beautiful guest soap with them. Modeled after the infamous Victorian hand which can symbolize, love/romance, friendship or even grief and morning, created with Shea butter for a creamy bar and activated charcoal for cleansing. I scented these in a subtle Chamomile (pure essential oil, not a synthetic fragrance). You can find them in the shop and a bunch of other new things I’ve been adding ✨ #victorianera #victorianmourning #gothwitch #witchesofinstagram #witchery #witch #magick #victorianjewelry #victorianfashion #victorianaesthetic #gothaesthetic #cottagewitch #cottagecore #anitaapothecary https://www.instagram.com/p/CqUIGdQLWga/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 A heart-shaped gold locket with the front engraved with an EV cypher (E for her father and V for her mother). The locket contains the hair of Duke Edward and Duchess Victoria of Kent. It reads " Present from her Mother to her beloved Victoria on the First Anniversary of her Birthday 24 May 1820. The gift from the Duchess of Kent was one of a group of jewels that were placed in the " Albert Room " at Windsor Castle after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. The room was the same one in which Prince Albert died in 1861 and the Queen left instructions for a specific list of her personal jewellery to be placed there and not passed on in the family. #queenvictoria #queenvictoriaofengland #dukeofkent #duchessofkent #locket #royaljewellery #royaljewels #britishhistory #britishroyaljewels #historyroyals #historicalfigures #womeninroyalty #womeninhistory #jewellery #victorianjewelry #victorianera #history #royalhistory #royalty #royalfamily (at Kensington Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqMS5qITBJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
