This exquisite Victorian-era witch’s heart pendant, originally a brooch of French origin, has been thoughtfully converted into a stunning, wearable piece of history. Once bearing a worn French eagle stamp on the brooch pin, this hallmark has been removed during its transformation, yet its significance remains intact.
 
Crafted in 18ct gold, this pendant boasts eight bright, sparkling rose-cut diamonds, each delicately set to catch and reflect the light with an old-world brilliance. The witch’s heart motif, measuring 23mm long (excluding bail) and 22mm wide, carries a rich symbolism rooted in the romantic and mystical traditions of the Victorian era.
 
The witch’s heart, with its distinctive curved tip, was historically given as a token of love and protection. During the 18th and 19th centuries, these hearts were gifted to signify that the giver was "bewitched" by love, while in earlier folklore, they were also believed to ward off evil and offer safeguarding energy to the wearer. This dual meaning—both romantic and protective—made them particularly cherished by those who believed in the power of sentimental jewellery.
 
The pendant is completed with a handcrafted 8mm chunky bail, allowing it to hang gracefully from a variety of chains.
 
A timeless emblem of love, devotion, and protection, this Victorian French witch’s heart pendant is not only a striking antique but a piece imbued with deep historical sentiment—an enchanting addition to any jewellery collection.
