This is a piece where three distinct decorative techniques, pearl setting, enamel work and hand chasing, have been combined on a single locket with complete confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe forget-me-not in seed pearls is the centrepiece, the flower rendered in three dimensions by the pearls, the black enamel ground making each pearl read with maximum clarity. Forget-me-nots in Victorian jewellery carried a single unambiguous meaning: remember me, do not forget. The black enamel surrounding them places this firmly in the mourning tradition, a locket made to hold something close and to carry a specific, personal memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpace for two keepsakes within.
