Blue Enamel Forget Me Not Flower Band - Victorian
Blue Enamel Forget Me Not Flower Band - Victorian
A sweet blue enamel forget-me-not flower with a raw diamond center on an 18k gold band. This appears to be a marriage of two antique Victorian components, with the flower dating to c.1850-1860 and the band being engraved for 1882. A unique, sentimental treasure.

CONDITION:
This appears to be a modern marriage of two antique components. The 18k gold band shows evidence of past resizing in multiple places - likely to preserve as much of the inner engraving as possible. The resizing spots appear more pronounced in these photos than with the naked eye, as these are taken with magnification.

Stamped 18k, engraved NRH to ? (other initials are not legible) Nov 23 ‘82
Antique and vintage items are pre-worn and pre-loved, so some wear is to be expected. I will be sure to mention any wear or damage that stands out to me above what I consider to be normal wear for something of that age. Please ask any questions you may have and request additional photos prior to purchasing.
