INTERESTING INFORMATION: Forget-me-nots symbolize love and remembrance. They have been used throughout history in many a time and place - but carry the universal message of strong unbreakable bonds and a commitment to remember and cherish shared memories - not only between lovers, but also friends and family. These tiny flowers represent a promise that you will always remember the person and keep them in your thoughts. Today, the message of the bloom resonates just as it has for hundreds of years and remains a popular, meaningful item to gift - especially as a jewelry motif.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, wear, color variances and/or discoloration. Most older pieces by nature normally are "Perfectly Imperfect" and have some degree of all - and unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned (especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos). These characteristics lend to the authenticity, look, and are part of the history and unique story that belongs to each and every piece. They should not only be expected, but embraced. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all and gauge for yourself, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
