Heart brooch
Heart brooches are also often called Mary brooches or crown brooches. They are often attributed to the symbolism of the pure heart of the Virgin Mary (or Mary Magdalene), who was crowned. This is why it is often used as the love symbol above all others on many national costumes. In ancient times, two birds often sat at the top, sometimes with a burning heart between the birds. Both the heart shape and the two birds were symbols of love. In some cases, there is a crown with 5 thorns at the top; this refers to the 5 wounds of Jesus. There are many national costumes that have a heart brooch among the options in the national costume silver.
