Forget me nots in an old German tale were discovered by two lovers walking by a river one day. After picking a beautiful bouquet of blue flowers for his loved one the poor gentleman sadly fell in the river and was swept away but before he vanished he yelled out ‘Forget-me-not!’ giving the flowers their name and a long lasting symbolism of love and remembrance.
A beautiful locket which will look fabulous on a gold chain and has a lovely sentiment attached. It comes with two internal windows which each have a gold rim to house photographs.
