Medieval Europe, with a mostly illiterate population, was all about symbols, and during the 13th and 14th centuries, this random upside-down pear shape began to signify love.

A glass locket is hidden at the back. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIALS: 14k gold (tests), heart-shaped cabochon calcedony, glass locket lens, new 14k gold chain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGE: c. 1860\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION: Very good - locket can be removed with the help of a jeweler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 1 1\/4\" length including the bale, 7\/8\" width, 18\" chain\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52316100493594,"sku":"N3060","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0156\/5502\/files\/N3060-1.jpg?v=1780949623","url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/mid-victorian-chalcedony-heart-snake-locket","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
