This gesture is remembered as one of the most fervent expressions of royal friendliness and goodwill. Because this is the most well-known early diamond heart reference, historians believe the diamond heart became connected with love and admiration around this time. George Buchanan, a 16th-century Scottish historian, penned two Latin epigrams about Mary\u2019s diamond ring presents to Elizabeth. Sir Thomas Warner, a captain in the royal guards, was claimed to have received one of the rings with a heart-shaped diamond from King James.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;&amp; 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Centuries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the development of witchcraft in the 17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;centuries, the emblem was incorporated into twisted heart brooches known as \u201cthe witches\u2019 heart\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clean, symmetrical heart pendants are becoming popular all around the world. By the 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century, however, the twisted heart had come to symbolise \u201cbewitched by love\u201d, and a double heart had come to represent a committed partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>19<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;&amp; 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Centuries&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Queen Victoria is credited with popularising the heart motif through her prominent bracelet, which had hearts that were said to represent her children. Fashionistas of the time followed the Queen\u2019s lead, and charm jewellery and hearts quickly became trendy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The famed \u201cHope Gem\u201d was the genuine blue diamond that inspired the creation of \u201cLe Cur de la Mer\u201d. The royal collection of Louis XIV included this 45.52ct blue diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Tim&amp;Co., you\u2019ll find not just pieces fit for special occasions, but also versions that may be mixed and matched with other pieces in your jewellery collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHeart\u201d is a word that&nbsp;has been used to describe love throughout history.&nbsp;It\u2019s difficult to picture the world of jewellery without it, whether it\u2019s a heart-shaped ring,&nbsp;pendant, or gemstones.
