English lily-of-the-valley and forget-me-not bouquet pendant from the late 19th century

A bouquet that never fades—this Victorian pendant from England, circa 1890, is crafted in solid 18k gold, capturing lily-of-the-valley and forget-me-nots in breathtaking dimensional goldwork, tied up with a flowing ribbon. The forget-me-nots twinkle with turquoise, a sweet nod to love and remembrance.

Entirely handcrafted, this exquisite piece showcases the artistry and symbolism of the period, blending natural forms with a touch of romance. The lily-of-the-valley blooms are gracefully rounded and dynamic, while the forget-me-not flowers, set with sky-blue turquoise, add a playful yet sentimental touch. The finely engraved bow gathers the bouquet, adding elegance and charm to this sweet floral tribute.

I’ve had the joy of sourcing this special series of floriography jewelry—including a beloved ring sold long ago, a substantial vinaigrette, and now this delightful pendant. It’s a little love letter in gold, capturing timeless sentiments in a way that feels both personal and poetic.

The pendant is in good antique condition, displaying normal signs of oxidation and wear. Some solder marks and oxidation visible on the reverse. As condition assessments are subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to examine more detailed condition aspects as part of your evaluation.
