Antique Victorian Forget Me Not Locket Sterling Silver Gold Dated 1883

Product Details

A lovely Antique late Victorian locket fashioned in Sterling Silver and engraved with beautiful Forget me nots in an embossed frame with Rose Gold petals and green Gold leaves. 

Forget me nots in an old German tale were discovered by two lovers walking by a river one day. After picking a beautiful bouquet of blue flowers for his loved one the poor gentleman sadly fell in the river and was swept away but before he vanished he yelled out ‘Forget-me-not!’ giving the flowers their name and a long lasting symbolism of love and remembrance. 

The locket is complete with rims and windows within so two beloved photographs can be stored. It would make a wonderful gift for a loved one and complete with Birmingham hallmarks which date the piece to 1883.
