A super Victorian Whitby Jet hand charm pendant. The hand is holding a small posey of 'forget me not’ flowers. ‘Forget me not’ were a popular symbol of enduring love during the Victorian period and hands holding flowers were given as gifts, usually for romance, friendship or rememberance. The stunning jet black creates a striking appearance. This is delicately carved and visually stunning with all the details from the cuff frill to the fingernails and flower petals. Circa 1860-1880. The Charm is fitted with a 9ct gold pendant bail and looks lovely with a dog clip or or even on a fine chain.
