A large scale Victorian sterling silver heart pendant, the front set with four pieces of polished agate, so that the negative space of the silver forms a cross. A cross engraved with leaves, and flowers at the centre, the Rosy Cross?
The use of the agate with the silver means that this piece is likely Scottish
'Tradition informs us that the Rosy Cross degree, which incorporates the conferral of Knighthood, originated on the fields of Bannockburn on Summer Saint John’s Day in the year 1314, and was instituted by Robert the Bruce who, having received signal assistance from a body of Freemasons in the battle for Scottish independence conferred on them the Masonic Rank of Knighthood as a reward for their faithful services.' - Royal Order Of Scotland.
