Victorian Jewelry Symbolism


Here is some of what I found:

    Arrows = Love (Cupid's arrows)
    Bluebells = Constancy
    Butterfly = Soul
    Clasped Hands = Friendship, Lasting Love
    Crowned Heart = Love Triumphant
    Daisy = Innocence
    Dogs = Fidelity
    Doves = Domesticity
    Fern = Fascination
    Flaming Heart = Passionate Love
    Fly = Humility
    Forget Me Nots = Remembrance
    Ivy = Friendship, fidelity, marriage
    Lilac = First feelings of Love
    Mistletoe = A kiss
    Pearls = Tears
    Wishbone = Wish and Hope

Complex, isn't it?
