HEART OF VIANA 

Contrary to what one might think, the primary purpose of the Heart of Viana was not to be a symbol of love but rather a symbol of dedication and worship of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It would have been Queen Mary I who, grateful for the "blessing" of having been granted a son to him, had a heart executed in gold. Over time, the heart began to be related to "profane love", a symbol of the connection between two human beings. It became so popular that the cornucopias and lines of the Heart of Viana began to be reproduced in scarves and embroidered in all type of fabrics. Eventually, this brought to the Heart of Viana the recognition and popularity that continues to this day.
