Antique Silver Horseshoe And Hearts Sweetheart Brooch

Very pretty sterling silver sweetheart brooch featuring horseshoes, hearts and forget me not flowers. The brooch has a c clasp and pin indicative of the era and is hallmarked Birmingham 1917 with the makers mark J.R.E for Joseph Richard Eaves of Tenby St, Birmingham.

The forget-me-not flower holds a poignant meaning in antique jewellery. It symbolized enduring love and remembrance. Often given as tokens of affection, forget-me-nots were seen as a promise to always remember loved ones, even in their absence.

Brooches were extremely popular in Victorian/Edwardian times and were often placed on ribbon around the wearer's neck to create 'colliers de chien' or ‘dog collar’. They are now having a massive resurgence and can add individuality to your outfit. Pin them on your favourite denim jacket, shirt or sweater to instantly elevate your style.

The brooch measures 3.2cm.

This unique piece of jewellery may have signs of wear due to its history. It is beautifully imperfect and should be treated with love and care. This gorgeous brooch is in good antique condition.
