Lover's Eye Bracelet,from c. 1860, British {via}

This example is rendered in delicate watercolor on ivory.

Popular in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, lover’s eye miniatures were discreet tokens of affection, allowing the wearer to carry the presence of a beloved without revealing their identity.

By the mid-1800s, such objects could also function as sentimental or mourning jewelry, blurring the line between romance and remembrance.

"Andras, grand marquis of Hell. He is seen with the body of an angel (and) the head of an owl." The owl head symbolizes nocturnal malevolence and secret knowledge; the wolf, ferocity; the angel's body, his fallen character.
