This Edwardian brooch takes the form of a silver bow with a hanging heart pendant, finished in translucent green guilloche enamel over a sunburst-engine-turned pattern. A small cluster of three seed pearls is set into the centre of the heart, while a safety chain links the bow to a separate pin fastener. Hallmarks stamped 900 and G and E appear on the piece, which displays minor enamel loss at the pointed tip of the left ribbon. The brooch measures 3.5 cm high by 3.8 cm wide, with a 7 cm safety chain. Items of this scale serve as wearable personal accessories, pinned to lapels, collars, scarves or hats as a traditional decorative fastening. The silver and green colour palette complements antique jewellery collections, historical costume displays or period clothing.

FAQs

Heart and bow motifs gained widespread popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras as symbols of love and affection. Guilloche enamelling, a technique where translucent enamel is applied over engine-turned metal patterns, was frequently used during this period to create rich colour finishes on sentimental items.

These brooches are commonly constructed from sterling silver or gold decorated with vitreous enamel fused to the metal surface. Additional accents frequently include small seed pearls, paste stones, or gemstones set into the central design.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit fine engine-turned metalwork beneath translucent enamel, period-accurate hallmarks, and historic pin fasteners such as C-clasps or long pin stems. The presence of an attached safety chain with a secondary pin is another common feature of early 20th-century construction.

A brooch of this style can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the neckline of a blouse, or used to secure a silk scarf. It can also be attached to a velvet ribbon and worn as a choker necklace.

Enamel should be wiped gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and kept away from liquid cleaners, harsh chemicals, or ultrasonic tanks, which can crack the glass or loosen seed pearls. Silver areas can be polished using a dry jewellery cloth while avoiding direct contact with the enamelled sections.
