Georgian 15 Karat Gold Lover's Eye Enamel Framed Pendant

Description : To think this is a window into the past is really profound. This is a 'Lover's Eye' hand painted on porcelain in c.1790. The first “lover’s eye” was commissioned by Prince George of Wales to preserve the eye of his lover, Maria Fitzherbert, which he wore close to his heart. What a story that tells, about this piece. Lover's eyes were also memorials, especially when they contained hair. The hair braid in this pendant is as perfect as the day it was done. What an incredible piece of history inlaid behind a Quartz crystal, and crafted into a locket that you can wear everyday. This 'Lover's Eye' is 38mm wide and 28mm tall. Like a photograph, this captures a unique moment in someone's life. Certainly the power of jewelry.
