Antique Victorian Forget Me Not Locket Silver 18Ct Gold Dated 1886

Product Details

A beautiful Antique Victorian locket modelled in Sterling Silver and featuring an 18ct Gold depiction of a Forget-me-not flower on the front. The locket also features a lovely star border and is fully hallmarked.

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.

This is a simply beautiful locket, which opens up to present two original rims, one with a window, to keep your own cherished photographs or a loved one’s lock of hair within.
