During the 18th century, people of means had exquisite love token portrait brooches made as a reminder of their secret loves. Since only the eye of the person was memorialized in the portrait, only the lovers and the painter knew the identity.<\/p>\n

if you want to read more about her process of discovering the tokens and the way her inspiration formed, Gale has a post HERE<\/a>. She also links to a great book on the subject.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that I’m in love with Gale’s new tokens. I had a great time trying to emulate the elaborate jeweled tokens.<\/p>\n
