The Gold Double Heart Mizpah Brooch, crafted in 9ct rose and yellow gold, is a stunning example of Victorian sentimentality and craftsmanship. Dating from around 1890, this brooch features two interlocking hearts, symbolising the deep emotional connection between two people, even when separated by distance. The hearts are beautifully formed in contrasting rose and yellow gold, creating a rich, warm tone that enhances the brooch’s romantic charm. The piece is delicately engraved with the poignant Mizpah verse, “The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another”, which has long been used as a symbol of love and separation. This heartfelt inscription adds an emotional depth to the design, transforming the brooch from a mere accessory into a treasured token of affection.
Victorian jewellery, particularly Mizpah pieces, was often given as a reminder of a loved one when parting, whether for a journey, military service, or other separations. This double heart brooch exemplifies that tradition, with its dual hearts representing the bond shared between two individuals, no matter the distance. The thoughtful combination of rose gold and yellow gold with the engraved verse makes this brooch both visually captivating and emotionally resonant. As a piece of history, it is not only a beautiful item of antique jewelry but also a cherished memento that carries the timeless message of enduring love and the hope of reunion.
