I took one look at this devotional heart charm and knew it was really, really old. It has a feeling. We estimate it was made around the year 1700, and IC is a "christogram". “IC XC” is shorthand for writing “Jesus Christ” in Greek. It's a humble, subtle talisman that has survived quite a long time.
