The History of Eye Miniatures: The "Lover’s Eye" Jewelry

Eye miniatures, often referred to as "Lover’s Eye" jewelry, are one of the most fascinating and mysterious trends in antique jewelry history. These small yet highly detailed paintings of a single eye were popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, often set into brooches, rings, lockets, or bracelets. Their origins are intertwined with secret romance, royalty, and sentimental keepsakes.
