Inspired by Anne Boleyn and the bloom she holds in the Hever Rose Portrait, painted during the reign of her daughter, Elizabeth I. Roses have long been associated with Anne through Tudor symbolism, courtly beauty and the enduring romance surrounding her memory. Handmade in fine silver from the impression of an authentic Victorian wax seal stamp, this pendant preserves the romance of a message once closed by hand. Across history, roses have symbolised love, beauty, remembrance and secrecy, from ancient associations with Venus to the Victorian language of flowers. Pressed into wax, a rose might have conveyed affection, devotion or a private sentiment intended for the recipient alone. Finished beautifully with sterling silver findings, each pendant bears the subtle individuality of its making. A timeless keepsake for lovers of history, symbolism and jewellery with a story to tell. Please note as this piece is handmade every pendant will differ slightly from the images above. This pendant comes on a beautiful green ribbon which can be worn as a choker necklace. If you would like a silver chain you can add this to your order or if you would like a beaded necklace please check the Beaded Necklace page for more options.
