A fascinating aspect of Victorian jewelry is the deep symbolism and sentimentality rendered in its designs. Aside from charm, ageless beauty, and nostalgic value, Victorian jewelry pieces, more often than not, contained a hidden meaning/message/story through the choice of material, shape, types of gemstones used, as well as their arrangement.

There are endless floral motifs/symbols in Victorian jewelry, but perhaps none as delightful, buoyant, sweet and simplistic as golden yellow buttercup flower. Buttercups represent happiness, merriment, bliss, and glee.
