The forget-me-not flower held a poignant meaning in Victorian jewellery. It symbolized enduring love and remembrance. Often given as tokens of affection, forget-me-nots were seen as a promise to always remember loved ones, even in their absence.
Brooches were extremely popular in Victorian/Edwardian times and were often placed on ribbon around the wearer's neck to create 'colliers de chien' or ‘dog collar’.
The brooch measures 5cm.
This unique piece of jewellery may have signs of wear due to its history. It is beautifully imperfect and should be treated with love and care. This gorgeous brooch is in good antique condition.
