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.
