The heart symbol holds a captivating history within the realm of jewelry. The heart motif has been a powerful emblem of love, affection, and sentimentality for centuries. In ancient times, the heart shape was associated with a person's spiritual and emotional essence. It became a popular symbol of devotion and courtly love during the Middle Ages. In the Victorian era, sentimental jewelry, including lockets and pendants, often featured intricate heart designs, serving as a token of love and remembrance. The heart symbol continued to evolve throughout the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, with designers exploring new interpretations and incorporating innovative materials. On the Arts & Crafts Movement. The Arts and Crafts period emerged at the turn of the century as a reaction against the industry and machinery that had begun to infiltrate culture, arts, and design. Proponents of the Arts and Crafts Movement argued true art and true craftsmanship must be done by an artisan, not by a machine or by an assembly line of people. They believed that the original creative endeavor of an individual artisan would bring its own distinct pleasure, not only to the working class makers but to the person wearing it. _gsrx_vers_1678 (GS 9.8.2 (1678))
