Heart Shaped Jewellery History

Although we are quite used to seeing jewellery and accessories featuring emblems of love and hearts, the history of heart shaped jewellery dates back to roughly the 14th and 15th centuries. Early examples of this include heart shaped rings and brooches engraved with love poems. During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries heart jewellery was presented in the form of heart shaped lockets and the symbol itself was used as a talisman to ward off evil spirits. By the 19th and 20th centuries heart shaped jewellery had become synonymous with the Royal Family including the likes of Queen Victoria who was known to wear a heart shaped charm bracelet. Now in the 21st century, heart jewellery and accessories have become widely popular and can be found on necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings.
