Victorian “Mizpah” Double Heart Brooch in Silver
This sentimental Victorian brooch is designed as a pair of joined hearts, crafted in silver with engraved detailing throughout. One heart is boldly inscribed with “MIZPAH” and decorated with ivy leaves, symbols of fidelity and enduring affection. The reverse heart features the touching inscription: “The Lord watch between me & thee when we are absent one from another,” a verse traditionally associated with love, friendship and remembrance.
Rich in meaning and history, Mizpah jewellery was exchanged as a token of devotion and safe keeping during times of separation. This piece is a beautiful and heartfelt example, making it a treasured addition to any antique jewellery collection.
