You can't help but be bewitched by this fine antique Victorian 'witches' heart brooch.
This gorgeous piece features double witches style hearts in rich 22ct yellow gold, each heart is adorned with lush vibrant turquoise cabochons in various hues.
The hearts are joined together with a gorgeous seed pearl set bow which appears to for the two together in unison.
Such a magnificent piece, steeped on history and symbolism!
