Product Details For Antique Victorian Locket Forget Me Not Silver 18Ct Gold Circa 1880

This beautiful Antique Victorian locket has been modelled in Silver and the front inlaid with 18ct Green and Rose Gold. The 18ct Rose Gold takes the form of an ornate pattern toward the top and then makes up the depiction of Forget Me Not flowers below. The 18ct Green Gold then forms the leaves of the flowers.

The locket also features an intricately shaped edge which houses intermittent silver balls.

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.

A lovely locket which is steeped in history and features two internal windows, one complete with a gold rim and glass, to keep photos or momentos of loved ones.
