Original Portuguese Traditional Jewelry - Handcrafted

History:
This traditional medal is made of a fine silver plate, where most of the times floral motifs are engraved.

Known as Inverted Heart, but also as Pestana or Butterfly, it symbolized those who were looking for love. When the young woman who wore it found her loved one, she would have the medal hoop soldered on the opposite side, so that the heart would be displayed in its correct position from that point on, and everyone would know that the young woman's heart had already found its "rightful owner".

Authenticity Guarantee:
All our jewelry has the Official Assay Office Punch insuring the manufactured metal and fineness. This mark is applied in all pieces by The Portuguese Mint and Official Printing Office, that provides the guarantee by checking the fineness of the pieces, displayed in thousandths. A fineness of 925 - the one used in our pieces - means that in 1000 units of mass of the alloy, 925 units are pure precious metal.

Packaging:
Your jewel will be placed and sent in a Jewelry Box (color of the box may vary).

Shipping:
