“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.
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.
Scottish Jewellery was made popular by Queen Victoria as it
became a souvenir of her trips to Scotland. From the mid 1800's
Queen Victoria frequented Scotland and her Scottish Castle Balmoral.
The jewellery comprises of different coloured Agates and
Carnelian with the natural graining of the stone showing through.
The agates have a lovely colour and warmth showing their natural
grain from within.

Developed a lovely smoothness with age.
