The story: The heart symbol, popularized since the late Middle Ages, embodies love, passion and tenderness. Its representation as we know it today appeared in illuminated manuscripts of the fourteenth century, before becoming a popular motif in jewelry. One of the most famous historical examples is the heart-shaped pendant given to you by Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1565, adorned with romantic inscriptions. Over the centuries, the heart has become a universal symbol of deep emotions. Giving a piece of jewelry adorned with a heart is to celebrate this heritage of love and attachment, whether it is a romantic, friendly or family bond, while carrying a fragment of its history.
