This is not decorative work applied quickly to a commercial piece. The level of detail throughout speaks to a maker working at the top of their craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForget-me-nots carried one of the most powerful meanings in the Victorian floral language — remember me, do not forget — while ferns spoke of sincerity, humility and new beginnings. Together on the front of a large locket they make a declaration of lasting, sincere affection. The fleur de lis reverse — a symbol of purity and light — completes the composition with equal care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e15ct gold was an official British standard from 1854 to 1932.
