During the Victorian era, in order for the message to be understood, one used a flower (or other object such as fruit) to be handed out. Forget-Me-Not flowers meant True, Undying Love. Today, the forget-me-not is still as resonant as it was one hundred years ago and you can still find it as a popular motif in jewelry to give to a loved one..
An antique Victorian c1890 9ct yellow gold plated puffy heart charm, beautifully hand engraved with three Forget-Me-Not flowers, and with a plaited hair locket back. A lovely piece.
This tests as gold plated but is a nice quality piece in lovely condition with just one small ding on the side. I haven’t tried removing the hair locket as it is very securely fitted.

Size Approximately: It measures 16mm (5/8ths of an inch) by 14mm (9/16ths of an inch), excluding the suspension bale.
Weight Approximately: 1.9 grams.
