Garden ring size 8.5

In the Victorian era, flowers were used to send silent messages. If a flower was handed with the right hand it meant ‘yes’, while the left hand meant ‘no’.

Social etiquette imposed restrictions on what could be expressed directly, so people used flowers to flirt and send secret messages. ‘Le Langage des Fleurs’, the first dictionary to explain the meanings behind various flowers, was published in 1819 in Paris. It introduced a code which became extremely popular with the middle and upper classes of Victorian society.

This ring is hand made from sterling silver and black spinel gemstones, it’s a size 8.5.
