A charming Victorian sterling silver puffy heart pendant adorned with delicate repoussé work and a raised pansy motif. The softly rounded form is embellished with scrolling detail across the front, centered by an applied pansy flower — a classic Victorian symbol often associated with remembrance and affection.
The reverse bears a hand-engraved monogram, “L.W.”, adding a personal historical touch to the piece. The pendant retains a warm natural patina that gently highlights the relief and craftsmanship, and remains in excellent antique condition with no indentations noted.
Compact yet dimensional, this antique heart wears beautifully alone or layered with other period charms, offering a small but expressive example of Victorian sentimental jewelry.
