Lily of the valley and forget me not have long been popular symbolic flowers, especially around holidays like Valentine's Day and Easter . . . they are also characters in an Edwardian era children's story about star-crossed lovers, one being of the springtime, and the other being of the summer. This antique charm has a serene visual quality. It is very pretty worn alone on a slender chain. We love these finely-made old charms, and like our favorite examples, this one has lots of symbolic potential.
