Details

Six fabulous Diamond set charms compliment this bracelet, a Diamond Witches Heart, Dearest Flower, Diamond Pig, Emerald Clover, Diamond Cross, Diamond Rabbit.
The term witches heart means a heart with a curved point at the end.
Over time the meaning has changed. In the 18th century they were viewed as tokens of love and affection and brought with it the implication that the giver had become bewitched to fall in love with the recipient. In earlier times, they were often used as protective amulets, to guard the wearer from evil.
The dearest flower spells dearest in gemstones - Diamond, Emerald, Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire and Topaz.
Dearest, Adore and Regard rings were given during the 19th Century as a token of love, this is a lovely sign and represents the era wonderfully.
Diamonds sparkle continuously and beautifully captivating the allure of natures beauty.
Diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth and this combined with its exceptional lustre and brilliant fire has made it the most highly prized of all gems.
Emerald derives its beautiful green colour from the presence of chromium and vanadium.
The Emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess Venus, it was thought to preserve love and has long been the symbol of hope.
Each charm is set with Victorian rose cut Diamonds in a newer gallery. The chain is Circa 1900.
