This sounds a bit like a claddagh (pronounced cla-dah) brooch.
A claddagh brooch, or ring, has a heart, with hands on either side & a crown on top.
It symbolises loyalty & devotion.
The heart, worn pointing down, toward the body, indicates "taken", worn the other way indicates "available".
Maybe the hands are a bit "wingy" looking?
