Sweetheart jewellery refers to sentimental pieces given by family members, lovers, or soldiers departing for war. Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras (1890–1915), name brooches like "Mother," "Sister," or "Dearest" were cherished family keepsakes worn proudly on lapels or high collars.

The stamp stands for "9ct Silver Lined." This was a high-quality manufacturing technique famously utilized by historic Australian jewellers like Apex (George Rodd). Instead of cheap, thin electroplating, a structural sheet of solid 9-karat gold was mechanically bonded over a sterling silver base. This creates a highly durable piece with the genuine weight and look of solid gold that doesn't easily wear away over time.

No longer confined to your Grandmother's jewellery box brooches are now having a massive comeback and are a great way to add some individual style to your outfit. Add them to your jacket, skirt, bag or scarf to instantly update your style.

This brooch would also like great used as a pendant or clasp on a chain or pearl necklace.

The brooch measures 4cm.

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 brooch is in very good antique/vintage condition.
