The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the Victorian era, heart-shaped jewellery symbolised love, affection, and commitment, often presented as sentimental gifts or keepsakes.

Victorian heart pendants were frequently crafted from sterling silver, gold, and organic materials such as tortoiseshell, jet, or mother-of-pearl.

Authentic Victorian pieces typically display period-specific hallmarks, hand-finished scrollwork, and natural organic variations in the tortoiseshell when viewed under light or magnification.

Antique pendants can be worn as focal pieces on contemporary silver chains, layered with other necklaces, or attached to velvet neck ribbons.

Keep tortoiseshell away from direct heat, sunlight, and moisture, wiping the silver surfaces gently with a dry soft cloth to remove oxidisation.
