Antique Victorian Forget Me Not Locket 9ct Gold Back And Front Metal_Gold black diamonds when they catchA sweet antique Victorian locket fashioned in 9ct gold back and front and chased with ivy and forget me nots on both sides along with a shield that has yet to be engraved. Forget me nots were a popular motif in the Victorian era and symbolic of eternal love and remembrance. They were often paired with ivy leaves which similarly represented an unbreakable bond, as in the Victorian rhyme Close clings the ivy to the tree, so in my heart I cling to thee.
