The front is decorated with a gold frame that displays a hairwork in the shape of a pansy flower, which in French can be read as a little rebus that reads 'think of me' (pense à moi). From the top dangles a decorative key on a chain, which signifies that this heart is locked for someone special! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn the 19th century, before the invention of photography and telephones, carrying around a literal piece of a loved one had a very significant meaning. Therefore, jewels that contained a piece of hair were very popular. A lot of jewelers specialized in creating designs from hair, and popular ladies' magazines even gave descriptions on how these works of art could be created at home. Based on its design, it is very likely that this pendant was worn as a symbol of love, maybe gifted to celebrate an engagement or wedding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pendant is currently being offered without a necklace: feel free to reach out if you would like to include one with your purchase. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL INFORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSize: 56 mm long, the heart measures 36 x 32 x 4 mm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eWeight: 9.15 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eAge: 19th Century, circa 1840s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eMaterial: Hallmarked with French hallmarks for 18k gold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eCondition: In good antique condition with minor wear, consistent with its age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that the antique box is for display purposes.
