Antique lover’s eye jewelry
Per KatieConsiders.com
“lover’s eye jewelry was popular in the late 1700s and early 1800s when stylish aristocratic Englishmen and women often wore the miniature portraits depicting their spouse or lover. Because the tiny watercolors revealed only the eye, the subject’s identity could be kept secret. Typically painted on ivory, the portraits were fashioned as brooches, rings, pendants, and lockets”
