Did you know that at the end of the 19th century, it was quite common to give a bracelet as an engagement gift instead of an engagement ring? Even Queen Mary wore one as a love gift from her future husband, King George V, which she received as an engagement present. This bracelet from around 1900 is such a gift of love, as it is full of meaningful symbols. The reddish gold piece of jewelry is made up of alternating love knots and intertwined hearts, each set with a turquoise. It is closed by a small, heart-shaped padlock. With their light blue color, Persian turquoises, as we see them here, were particularly suitable as carriers of meaning. Their color reminded people of the 19th century of the flowers of the forget-me-not - and it was precisely in this symbolic function that they found their way into many romantic pieces of jewelry. We discovered this piece of jewelry in London. If you listen carefully, you can hear softly whispered vows of love today, just as you could back then.
