Edwardian 9ct Gold and Pearl Heart tie pin

370/O
300 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A really lovely 9ct gold tie pin of a weeping or witches heart set with a natural pearl. The witch’s heart, with its bottom curved to one side was originally worn as an amulet in ancient times to protect against evil eyes and from witches stealing milk or harming newborn babies. In Scottish culture it is called the Luckenbooth heart, and in the 18th century the token implied that the giver had become “bewitched to fall in love” with the recipient. It would make a wonderful wedding gift. All our tie pins come with a stopper at the end of the pin.
