Sale price$375.00 Regular price$425.00

A Lover's Eye original oil painting on a vintage pendant with dangling details measuring 1.75" by 2.75"and a 12" double chain.

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 antique and vintage settings which complement this historical jewelry tradition and each in a different way contribute a unique sense of character and old world charm.
