Georgian Garnet Twin Hearts Witch's Heart Lace Pin

$1,100

Sold!

The heart shape has evolved over the centuries from an upside-down pear shape in the 1500s to the symmetrical cleft heart we use today. In the 19th century, this version - with a twist to one side - was commonly called a "witch's heart." Giving your loved one a jewel in this shape meant that they had "bewitched" you (in the most romantic way possible). Two flat-cut garnets nestle together in a twin heart formation with a little crown of more garnets above.
