Romantic, Victorian, 9ct Gold, Pearl and Enamelled Pansy Pendant, 'Think of me'

This wonderfully sentimental pendant is crafted from 9ct Gold and is decorated with a beautifully decorated enamel pansy flower at its centre. Bordered by its original, well matched pearls, this pendant is a real piece of history.

During the Georgian and Victorian eras, the pansy was synonymous with the french word 'Penser', 'which means, 'To Think'. So you would often find antique jewellery with the pansy on it, depicting loving thoughts of another. On this pendant, underneath the pansy are the french words, 'A Moi' meaining, 'Of me'. Therefore, roughly translated, this pendant means, 'Think of me'

The pendant is an oval shape of 3.6cm x 2cm and it weighs 4.71g. Despite its age, it remains in excellent antique condition.
