If its antique Art Deco silhouette wasn’t enough, the deeper meaning behind the iris flower and heart combination tells a story of a  message of love.  Suffice it to say, this small charm is kind of a big deal. Condition and Quality ● Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. No dents.  ● Secure, original bail. ● Vivid enamel. No chipping or thinning. Collector Note On Floriography.  Floriography, or the language of flowers, is rooted in the Victorian era. It refers to the assignment of special emotional meanings to certain flowers. Including those flowers in jewelry was a way to slyly convey one's feelings in a society that discouraged showing your emotions. For example, red roses were (and still are today) associated with romantic love and passion, while forget-me-nots symbolized remembrance.  _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680)) Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent.
