This wonderful Antique Victorian brooch has been modelled in 9ct Yellow Gold. It is set with an array of stunning Almandine Garnets which have a lovely purple hue and weigh approx. 3ct in total. The brooch also features wonderful engravings of forget me not flowers and a window on the back which currently houses a photograph of a gentleman in period dress. This photograph can be removed to be replaced with another.
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 stunning brooch which comes with a secure catch to hold it securely in place.
