A rare and emotive antique intaglio, finely carved into clear crystal. At the center lies a stylized heart pierced by arrows from all directions — a powerful symbol of longing, desire, and emotional intensity. Above the heart, the word “ENVIE” (French for desire or envy) is delicately inscribed in reverse, revealing its original purpose as a seal.

The detailed hand engraving and symbolic imagery suggest it was once part of a sentimental ring or pendant, possibly dating from the Georgian or early Victorian era. The piece bears a small natural chip at the edge, adding to its historic charm.

Whether for a collector of antique intaglios, a jewelry designer, or a lover of meaningful pieces, this stone is a poetic relic from a time when emotions were sealed in stone.
