$1,600.00

Description

DATE: Georgian, c.1790

A pretty Georgian forget-me-not ring, with a secret message... Antique jewellery often includes floral motifs, as part of their "Language of Flowers". It had a major impact upon Victorian society, however, it first originated during the Georgian period. Many flowers represented a romantic or emotional sentiment, and in this case, the head is modelled as three forget-me-not flowers- for true love. The triple flower head is set with vibrant turquoise cabochons and dreamy pearls, with ruby and amethyst centres on the shoulders. With stylised stem/floral shoulders, it's crafted in 18k gold throughout.
