The captivating Floral Locket; by Melbourne's celebrated designer Susie Lewis of Flew Designs features an antique sterling silver locket adorned with an intricate floral design crafted from yellow and rose gold. The locket gracefully hangs on a solid sterling silver fob chain and leather extension.
In the Victorian era, a well-dressed gentleman adhered to a strict dress code, favouring only understated yet functional jewellery. Among these, the gentleman’s watch chain was a rare outlet for personal expression. Traditionally, the crossbar end of the chain was inserted into a buttonhole, while the watch rested in the vest pocket. The fob, typically a medal or crest, was designed to facilitate the retrieval of a pocket watch. It hung over the pocket's front, anchored to the watch chain by a short chain or ribbon.
Victorian society also cherished the tradition of gifting jewellery to celebrate life events. These tokens, rich with sentiment, often communicated elaborate messages through the secret language of flowers, gems, and motifs. A floral design might symbolize love, friendship, or happiness, conveying heartfelt sentiments to the recipient.
Susie Lewis has masterfully repurposed these historical elements, creating a piece that is both a beautiful accessory and a tangible connection to the past. Each piece from Flew Designs is a testament to the enduring charm and significance of antique jewelry, making it a perfect addition to any collection.
