In earlier times, jewellery often carried a message. Gemstones were read as symbols and could also convey the feelings of the giver to the recipient. This brooch also contains such gemstones, which were selected according to their meaning. Turquoise, imported at great expense from Persia, was a real fashionable stone of the 19th century. People of the time loved it because of its similarity in color to the forget-me-not. This flower has always been a symbol of tender remembrance and a brief farewell in sincere love. In addition to the turquoise in the color of such meaningful flowers, the pearl is also a symbol of love and stands for the support of Venus, the goddess of love. For Venus herself, like pearls - as we know from Botticelli's famous painting - was born from a shell. We discovered the piece of jewellery in London. It has the form of a fan-shaped palm leaf with a ribbon winding around its style. The brooch is made of gold, whose warm sheen harmonizes wonderfully with the color of the turquoise and pearls.
