If You Neglect Me, You Lose Me
A Victorian clear paste seal which our lapidary has transformed into a doublet with a backing of Mother of Pearl which just gives the piece so much!
The shimmer, the shine, the lightplay. The MOP doublets are soooo good. We would say that but still…
Set as our classic pendant with a diddy enabailer in recycled 18ct yellow gold.
Why we love it
Emma finds it both bittersweet and reassuring just how exceptionally popular this motif is.
She lost control of the waitlist for this motif months ago and if you are reading this having sat on the list she apologises sincerely.
The imagery is of a bird fleeing from a cage, the door left open, wafting in the breeze. This freebird has escaped for good.
The motto is in English and reads ‘If you neglect me you lose me’, which we don’t think requires much explanation but really interesting that this was a vibe for them there Victorians too. Some things never change, like life’s shitty people.
Quite simply, it’s one about self love, self respect and appropriate boundaries.
Respect me and know my worth otherwise I will take my fabulous self elsewhere, you turd. This badass does not dine on crumbs from your table. And if we ever did well that’s the past and we do not tolerate your mistreatment any longer. #sorrynotsorry
As a talisman it gives Queen vibes, 100%.
