Details: This brooch is a modern take on a Lover's Eye. A beautifully detailed, sterling silver eye- symbolizing that one is being watched over - framed by pink pearls secured by gold pins and a vibrant turquoise tear drop.

During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries "lover's eye" miniature portraits became a trend. These portraits - depicting the giver's eye - would then be presented to a loved one for them to wear - whether set in a ring, brooch, snuff box, etc.

Measurements: The brooch is 3" tall by 2 1/2" wide.

Origin: Handmade in the Hudson Valley, New York.
