There’s something irresistibly sentimental about a flower you can wear close to your heart, especially one shaped by nature herself. This pansy pendant, softly gleaming with earth-toned agates and a fiery carnelian at its center, feels like a miniature garden preserved in gold. Its bloom never fades, and its petals tell stories in mossy greens, honeyed ochres, and banded neutrals; each one unique, like a pressed memory carried through time. Turn it over, and you’ll find a deep blue fabric behind glass, a subtle keepsake window for a lock of hair or secret thread of affection.

Handcrafted in about 1870, this locket-back pendant is set in 15 karat gold and designed in the form of a pansy, Victorian shorthand for “think of me.” Five polished agate segments form the petals, surrounding a domed 4.65 mm carnelian cabochon. The piece measures 28.3 mm north to south including the bale, 20 mm across, and 9.25 mm thick. It weighs 5.63 grams. There are no visible hallmarks, but it has been professionally tested.

The perfect mix of naturalism and sentiment, this charming bloom whispers of enduring love, remembrance, and the timeless beauty of a flower that never wilts.
