Antique Georgian Flat Cut Garnet and Citrine Witch's Heart Brooch
$2,450.00
Antique Georgian Flat Cut Garnet and Citrine Witch's Heart Brooch
$2,450.00
Beguiling, Beloved.
Once an amulet of protection, by the 18th century, the witch’s heart evolved into a sentimental symbol of “bewitchment” by love. This late Georgian example is set with flat cut garnets and embellished with citrines — we see flames and a stylized arrow.
Gemstones are set closed backed in silver.
This witch’s heart is somewhat larger than others we have encountered, and makes quite the visual statement. Gorgeous as a brooch, but try pinning to a ribbon to wear as a choker.
Marked at the C clasp with a worn and unidentified hallmark, possibly later marked (we believe the C clasp and pin were restored/reinforced in antiquity).
Silver, garnet, citrine (the pin tests as gold).
Dimensions and weight:
● 37.4 mm long
● 34 mm wide
● 4.8 mm deep (not including pin)/7.4 mm deep (including pin)
● 8.2 grams
Period: Georgian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present. We observe minor scratches and a couple of fleabites to the gemstones, in our opinion quite normal and acceptable antique wear.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
