A 17th century Charles I silver heart-shaped Royalist pendant, the front engraved in script ‘I morn for Monarky’ (sic). with Initials ‘C R’, a heart pierced by two arrows, a crying eye with three tear drops below, a skull and two floral sprays, the reverse engraved ‘Grant me thy loue, (sic) I wish no more’, with triple flowerhead spray below, with an integral suspension loop and ring above, length 42mm. £600-£800 --- After the execution of Charles I, Royalist mourning jewels were produced for his supporters in the form of lockets, rings and pendants, enclosing painted portraits, locks of hair and Royalist symbols, made in base metals, silver and gold, and worn as a quiet yet powerful sign of allegiance to his cause and resistance to the Commonwealth. The Civil War was however a dangerous time for Royalist sympathisers, and many of these keepsakes were hidden or worn discretely. After the restoration of the monarchy with the accession of Charles II in 1660, Royalist jewels could be worn publicly as symbols of loyalty to the restored Stuart monarchy.
