Named after a tragic and powerful love story of Mary and Percy Shelley. Despite significant turmoil in their lives, they remained devoted in their love for each other. They were fascinatingly a talented power couple. In particular, Mary Shelley authored the book, Frankenstein. Percy’s life ended up perishing in a boating accident and was later cremated. A portion of his heart had remained and was later found in Mary’s desk.
At the center of the brooch are two softly curved moonstone hearts with a soft white and silver glow. I especially love that the moonstones have a dimple, it’s those details you don’t really see in modern items. Exceedingly romantic (and not to mention so rare) in meaning, but curious how is this brooch going to represent you?! The twin moonstone hearts in the Victorian time frame symbolized deep devotion and love. Surrounding the moonstones are a glitter of variable (such so that one resembles a table cut) rose cut diamonds. The diamonds are all lovingly uneven, I like to think that it displays a scatter of stars. Antique diamonds show their own unique spell of cuts which makes them independently sparkle differently to their modern counterparts. Whether it represents your own rare and inferno love or simply to add as a pinnacle item to your collection.
