Antique Georgian Forget Me Not Locket 18Ct Gold Circa 1830

Details

This exquisite Antique Georgian locket is fashioned in solid 18ct Yellow Gold with ornate engraved patterning around the outer border and a fabulous Forget me not placed in the centre with lovely blue and black Enamel detailing.

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 steeped in history and complete with a large glass window on the reverse to store your own cherished photographs within.
