Antique Gold and Paste Bar Pin with Sapphire-Blue Heart

An exquisite antique bar pin dating to the 1800's, crafted in gold fill or possibly 9 kt gold and centered by a striking sapphire-blue paste heart. The heart is framed by a halo of brilliant white paste stones, each hand-set to catch and reflect the light with exceptional sparkle. The elegant bar form, accented with graduated paste stones on either side, gives this piece a refined symmetry that was especially popular in late 19th-century sentimental jewelry.

Blue hearts were cherished symbols of devotion, loyalty, and enduring love—often given as intimate tokens or worn close to the heart. Whether worn on your favorite blouse, your cashmere sweater, ribbon, or lapel, this pin has a delicate presence with unmistakable antique charm. A beautiful addition to your collection of antique jewelry or a meaningful gift for a romantic soul.
