As many of my products feature the Lover’s Eye, I wanted to make this post to explain the interesting history of them.
Lovers' eyes were Georgian miniatures, normally watercolor on ivory, depicting the eye or eyes of a spouse, loved one or child. These were usually commissioned for sentimental reasons and were often worn as bracelets, brooches, pendants or rings with richly decorated frames.

@natalienj it has an absolutely fascinating history!! Queen Victoria commissioned them of her children, friends, and relatives’ eyes, and aristocratic society imitated her then. I find them so interesting 👁
