A charming and enduring trend from the Victorian Era was the custom of the Language of Flowers, wherein every blossom and leaf imaginable held secret meaning. It was so commonly practiced that floral messages were incorporated into jewelry, with our brooch serving as such an example.
Set in rich 22 karat yellow gold, a floral bouquet has been hand painted on a smooth disc and covered with glass. Pictured are: pink roses representing 'bashful love', daisies representing 'purity, innocence, and the ability to keep secrets', morning glories representing 'affection, love, and the beauty of the dawn', as well as forget me nots. A sweet and sentimental piece, with a freshness that resonates today, you will love having this in your collection!
