Description
This is a very pretty Victorian ‘Sweetheart Brooch’ in silver with a 9 carat rose gold central design. Silversmith appears to be ‘L & W’, which is probably Lawson & Ward, who operated in Hatton Garden, London and also Birmingham. This brooch is hallmarked Birmingham, 1890 to the rear. Up and over clip and firm pin. There is also a safety chain and pin to secure. Manufacture of these silver 'sweetheart' brooches began in England around 1887. These love tokens tapped directly into the romantic and sensitive side of people's nature and revived the passion for flowers and messages in jewellery last seen in the early 19th century. All kinds of every day objects suddenly took on a new meaning when fashioned into little brooches - horseshoes, hearts, anchors and crosses and flowers. Give your sweetheart one of these Victorian brooches – she will love it! Good on jackets, sweaters and classic dresses and tops.
