Forget-Me-Not Bronze Locket

Exclusive to the Artists Gift Gallery! A tiny posey of forget-me-nots, a keepsake from of the first days of summer have been captured inside a glass locket to make this sweet botanical necklace. A traditional symbol of love and devotion this pendant would make such a romantic gift for a bride to be, especially as her something blue! Forget-me-nots have always been a favourite of mine, and I grow a huge patch of them in my garden every year where their thousands of tiny blue faces take over in an eruption of beautiful chaos. I pick the flowers early in the morning when the flowers are at their strongest and treat them in a way that their colours and form are so well preserved that they look just as pretty as when they were alive.

The locket is made from glass, nickel-free bronze and is hung on a bronze chain. The locket measures 1×1.5 inches. The locket has been sealed shut to preserve the piece inside, but as this piece was made with natural materials, it needs to be treated with a little care. Please try to keep it dry, and when you are finished wearing it, tuck it away somewhere dark and safe to protect it from too much sunlight.
