Pearl is intact and in place. Antique honeymoon pins were a popular trend during the Victorian era as a way to commemorate a newlywed couple's honeymoon. These pins often featured intricate designs with symbols of love and romance, such as hearts, lovebirds, and floral motifs. They were typically made of precious metals like gold and silver and adorned with gemstones and pearls. The pins were worn by the bride as a symbol of her marital status and as a way to display her love for her new spouse.
Today, antique honeymoon pins are highly sought after by collectors and serve as a reminder of the romantic traditions of the past. Floriography, or the language of flowers, is rooted in the Victorian era. It refers to the assignment of special emotional meanings to certain flowers. Including those flowers in jewelry was a way to slyly convey one's feelings in a society that discouraged showing your emotions.
