Hi all, any ideas what this means? Thank you in advance

They look like fiddlehead ferns, which are the first shoots of the plant in spring. In Victorian times there was a fern craze. The fern was used as a decorative motif during the fern craze. Symbolized humility and conferred protection according to AI.

Do you see that as two wheat stalks?

My grandmother had a huge New England fern garden. So lush. In the spring it had Spring Peepers (tiny frogs).

Agh, I love it but want to make sure it's nothing mourning because I'm terribly superstition.

I feel ya on that, I love victorian, jewelry, and love the all the symbolism they put into the pieces, but I am not into the morning jewelry. I think it’s beautiful, but I am too superstitious as well. Do you have clearer photos?

Symbol of the month – the wheatsheaf

I was on a summer stroll in early July of this year in Kensal Green Cemetery when I noticed this symbol. From where I was standing it resembled a mop head which had dried out and been left on top …

@Daisys and Diamonds I hear you! I wanted an onyx ring for forever (another birthstone) and finally got an art deco one to escape the victorian symbolism. I'm coming from a very superstitious culture.

It’s very beautiful. I think it’s older than Art Deco. Edwardian? I love it.

@LightBright , this is the setting. 1 ct of perfectly clean old miners, even under magnification

Wow, your ring is set like a Victorian Onyx ring. Platinum Bezels around very old diamonds. But this style apparently was done in Art Deco period too. The piece work is unusual for Victorian times, and yellow gold also unusual, but Art Deco had those intricate floral decorations.

I want to clarify that yellow gold wasn’t as common as white gold and platinum in conjunction with Art Deco piecework. Yellow gold was commonly used in Victorian times with Onyx. But since it has piecework I’m guessing yours is Art Deco or later. Just guessing though.
