Antique Flemish heart pendant with rose-cut diamonds

Antique Heart Pendant in Gold, Silver, and Diamonds Flemish heart pendant in silver, gold, and diamonds. The lower portion features an openwork heart formed by scrollwork, with a movable center piece set with a pear-shaped rose-cut diamond. The entire piece is paved with diamonds set on a straw-like base. The upper part depicts a torch, a bow, and arrows. The Flemish heart is a jewelry style typical of 17th- and 18th-century Flanders. The Flemish heart is first and foremost a piece of sentimental jewelry. The torch represents passionate love, as do the bow and arrows—attributes of Cupid—and the foliage, which symbolizes fertility. It is also a religious piece traditionally given on August 15 for the Feast of the Assumption. Finally, this piece reflects social status, as it is closely associated with the Flemish merchant class. Flemish work from the second half of the 18th century (1750–1780). Features historical hallmarks and the swan hallmark for pre-owned silver pieces. Dimensions: 6 x 3 cm Weight: 15.42 grams
