Around 1887 the manufacture began in England of the so-called silver 'sweetheart' brooches. These love tokens tapped directly into the romantic and sensitive side of people's nature and revived the passion for flowers and messages in jewellery last seen in the early 19th century. All kinds of every day objects suddenly took on a new meaning when fashioned into little brooches - horseshoes, hearts, anchors and crosses.
