In the Georgian era turquoise was often associated with the forget me not flower. In the nineteenth century Queen Victoria spurred its popularity, giving her bridal party gifts of turquoise brooches and it became symbolic of true love.
The acanthus leaf motif has long been popular having been used extensively in architectural works during the Greek and Roman periods, and subsequently in the Victorian era becoming prevalent on jewellery and snuff boxes. The acanthus leaf symbolises enduring life and immortality.
Onyx is considered a powerful protection stone, symbolising strength, perseverance and the ability to overcome challenges. Black onyx was favoured in mourning jewellery of the mid-Victorian era, reflecting the Monarch’s sadness at the loss of her beloved Prince Albert.
Steeped in symbolism and meaning, this impressively sized padlock pendant will also look great in your neck mess since it’s completely detachable from the bracelet!
