This enchanting Victorian winged heart necklace is a stunning example of sentimental symbolism and intricate craftsmanship, designed in high-carat gold with the pendant dating back to the late 19th century. At the heart of this antique treasure is a green champlevé enamel witches heart, a symbol of protection and love in Victorian jewellery, encircled by 14 vivid pink cabochon tourmalines.  The heart exudes romance and character, with a lustrous pearl situated at its centre, adding a touch of elegance to this already exquisite piece.  The green enamel features striped detailing with darker green streaks that provide visual depth, while the pearls and tourmalines offer a beautiful contrast to the rich golden hues of the piece.
 
The heart is suspended from a beautifully engraved pair of gold wings, each intricately detailed feather bringing the piece to life. A second pearl rests between the wings, symbolising purity and spiritual protection, which were common motifs in Victorian jewellery. The wings cradle the heart, adding to the piece’s rich meaning—making it a powerful symbol of love, protection, and freedom.
 
The winged heart, converted from its original brooch form and dating to the Victorian era, has been professionally tested as 15-carat gold, while the accompanying 18-carat gold foxtail chain, marked “18K” on the clasp, dates to the early 1900s.
 
In excellent antique condition with only minor enamel wear visible under magnification, this necklace is a one-of-a-kind statement piece that can be worn alone or stacked for the ultimate layered look.
