A lovely Antique Victorian locket which has been modelled in 18ct Yellow Gold and features Forget Me Not flowers engraved beautifully on the front and back. The Yellow Gold has turned a pleasing rose colour with age.
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 opens and closes securely and features Gold rims and a glass window inside so that you can store your own photographs within.
