Heart Pendant

Some pieces of jewelry are worn like a secret, embodying a precious emotional bond that cannot be spoken aloud.
In the 19th century, these locket pendants were intended to hold the intimate memory of a loved one: a miniature portrait, a lock of hair, a relic of love…
The anchor and lion motifs engraved on it are traditionally associated with symbols of strength, loyalty, or attachment.
Like this small heart, the Museum protects what is essential — the remains that tell us where we come from. Researchers, guides, Members, and curious minds all share this mission.
