Honesty Intaglio

A beautiful white chalcedony intaglio hand carved with a lily of the valley and overarching French motto ‘La Candeur’ meaning candour.

 

Why we love it

Emma loves lily of the valley, the sweet delicate white woodland flower often founding blooming discreetly in shaded spaces, smelt before seen with their shy, nodding bonnets; completely unassuming but absolutely beautiful in their diminutive form

In Georgian floriography lily of the valley represents purity, honesty, truth, sincerity, candour, new beginnings – they are spring flowers afterall and similarly new beginnings

And so it is perfect that this motif has very clearly mindfully been carved onto a very pure white chalcedony

This intaglio is the perfect talisman for knowing your truth. Quietly, privately but resolutely so

Flown away home.
