Civilizations from the beginning of time through to the modern-day have always sought out meanings in everyday items. However cryptic symbolism in jewelry was never more prevalent than in the Victorian era, a time of ridged rules of etiquette which encouraged veiled meanings.

Flowers have a multitude of meanings, each specific to the flower or even the color of the flower. A charming example is a pansy which is a play on the French word ‘pensée’, meaning "think of me." 

This combo features a citrine pansy pendant paired with a stunning brass chain, making this the total package. Citrine is associated with positivity and optimism and is often used to assist in manifesting financial abundance and opportunities. This makes a thoughtful gift for a loved one to always be remembered by you.
