Sterling Silver Floriography Bar Pendant Belcher Necklace

Inspired by the language of flowers, where sentiments were once expressed through blooms ~ and the hallmarked ingots of the Seventies.

I was drawn to the thought that flowers might serve a similar purpose: carried for protection, given as a blessing, or kept as a reminder of love and strength, each one chosen to express what words alone cannot, our bar pendants combine three flower sentiments to tell a story;

Daughterhood
Great Things
Love
Luck
Motherhood
Sisterhood
Strength

Made with real flowers in sterling silver, using the traditional technique of lost wax casting. Each piece is carefully boxed, with our signature scented posy, while a Victorian puzzle purse holds the meanings and folklore behind your flowers, ready to be discovered as it's unfolded.

The necklace is a traditional oval belcher chain ~ named for the 19th-century bare-knuckle boxer Jim Belcher ~ this simple yet strong design became a staple of Victorian jewellery.

Floriography, also known as the language of flowers, is the practice of attributing meanings and symbolism to flowers and has been recorded in traditional cultures around the world for thousands of years.
