No. 2152 Lover's Eye Pendant
Lover's Eye pendant with an oil painting encased in gold plate over sterling with a quartz crystal cabochon which gives a magical magnifying effect*, measuring 1/2" in diameter; 18" 16k gold over brass chain included.
*N.B. Please note there's a wave in the crystal that makes this line look off, but it's not and it doesn't look it in real life.
THE HISTORY: Lover's Eyes were a jewelry trend c.1785-1830 of brooches set with tiny watercolor portraits on ivory. Since they were cropped to eyes, they were in many ways more direct and intimate than traditional miniature portraits; but also because they were just eyes, they were often used as daring public testimonies of clandestine love affairs with mystery lovers.
THE SETTINGS: This piece is part of the collection of contemporary minimalist settings which juxtapose this historical jewelry tradition with clean, modern lines for a subtle effect that's easy to wear.
