ROSEMARY ~ For Love & Remembrance

Rosemary has long been associated with improving memory & sprigs were worn by students taking exams in ancient Greece. Nowadays, it is rosemary oil that is popular. In Britain the plant has traditionally been used for remembrance, it was thrown by mourners as the coffin was lowered at a funeral. Shakespeare’s interest in floriography is shown in Hamlet, when Ophelia says, “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember.” It is believed that where rosemary flourishes, the woman rules & that a man who is indifferent to the fragrance of rosemary, is unable to truly love a woman. In the middle ages it was commonly used in wedding ceremonies as a love charm.

Our medal charms are made with real flowers in sterling silver, using the traditional technique of lost wax casting. They are beautifully packaged with our signature box posy which changes with the seasons, a card detailing our favourite facts and folklore, and a gift card for a personal message.

If you feel that not all the sentiments are appropriate, simply add a note in 'Special Instructions' at checkout and we will remove it from the card insert.

By choosing an Albert swivel clasp (first used on Victorian watch chains), your charm needn’t stay in one place. It can move with ease between chain and bracelet, a small detail that makes a big difference.

Charms will be attached to your chosen accessory as standard. If none is selected, we'll include a seasonal ribbon choker ~ to carry your charm until you place it elsewhere.

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.
