Made of gold, pearl, and emerald with the word "amor" (Latin for "love") suspended in delicate letters along the base, this exquisite adornment may have been worn as either a pendant or a brooch. Some portraits of young women also depict similar pieces exhibited in their hair, or at the shoulder or neck.
