These lover's eye are taken from originals. They are in a several types of pendant frames with a clear oval cover that magnifies the eye. Just lovely and can be worn on a chain or pendant.

The drop down menu should be in order of the pictures. When in doubt, please ask! The first photo is the Large Brown Eye, second is the Dark (Dk) Brown Eye. Check the drop down menu.

"The idea is that two lovers would commission miniature eye portraits to be made into...tokens they could wear as a symbol of their secret liaison. With only a portrait of one eye, only the wearer would know the identity of his/her lover. Sometimes the eye portrait had a compartment in the back of the locket, ring, or brooch containing a lock of hair. The could then be worn without anyone knowing the identity of the giver. These tokens were also done as memorial jewelry.

My pendants only hold a picture. If you would like a special loved one's eye made into a pendant, please contact me for specifics as I can do special orders. These would require high resolution photos directly of the face and/or eye. I have many types of findings - either silver or gold/brass, antiqued brass, and silver in which to use.

Any attempts at doing a custom lover's eye is non-refundable. This is due to the fact of the time it takes for me to make it, and the use of the glass cabochons that make the image permanent. The look in the glass cabochon, which magnifies the eye, is DIFFERENT than putting it under plain glass or in a locket.

Not all of the lover's eyes are shown as I have several. Just convo me if you do not see one you like or are not sure which one is which. :-)

Miniatures are fine small portraits given as love, non-romantic friendship, political allegiance, or memorial tokens between husbands, wives, parents, children, etc. The quality of the settings reflected their importance and the wealth of their giver.
