Forget Me Not

In Victorian times, certain flowers had specific meanings. The flower selection was limited and people used symbols and gestures to communicate more than words. In England the “forget-me-not” flower dates back to 1398, when Henry IV adopted the flower as his symbol during his exile, and he retained the symbol after his return to England in 1399. The forget-me-not flower; remember me forever.

The wax seal used in making this necklace dates back to the 1850’s, it originates from England.
