Antique Edwardian Gold Wedding Band Forget Me Not Heart Engraved Dated 1909

Product Details

This is wonderful, a beautiful Edwardian 9ct rose gold band ring that has engraving of forget me nots.

“Forget-me-not, O Lord!” is what a poor German knight shouted as he fell into a river.

He and his lady were picking flowers by the side of the river at the time, no doubt enjoying

the beautiful day around them, and yet as fate would have it, the knight’s armour dragged

him down to the bottom as he fell in.

Upon his cries to the Lord, he threw the blue posy of

flowers to his loved one and promptly drowned. This little tale reportedly dates to around the 15th

century, but no doubt had different permeations along the way, as romantic stories often do.

Hence, the concept of remembrance, eternal love and faithfulness grow from this.

The ring has developed a rosy hue with age of the years.

A cluster of hearts in the centre, this really is a ring of love.
