Lover's Eye Commission
Lover’s eye commissions— empty antique brooches, antique or vintage frames, or unframed options are available, to be discussed with the client. You can also provide your own setting! To begin the process, a high resolution image of the eye is required via email— this will appear before you can checkout. A personalized invoice will be made for custom sizes and frames.
Lover’s eyes are believed to have originated in the late 18th century as a secret token between (extra-marital) lovers. More specifically, the Prince of Wales, King George IV himself and his lover, Maria Fitzherbert. They were most often miniature keepsakes and meant to easily disguise the identity of the lover. However, they gained such popularity that by the end of the fad they could represent many things; the loss of a loved one, a watchful eye, or simply the eye of your dearest one.
