I don’t know about you, but I love poppy flowers, and I can’t get enough of them. Since the flower stem bleeds the second you pluck it, a real poppy quickly wilts, what might be an extra reason to admire them in jewellery. The inscription in this bold, but intricate gold ring suggests it might have been pre-loved as an engagement ring or wedding band.
It’s a sturdy ring, in a tiny size, perfect to wear as a pinky ring.
In the Victorian Language of Flowers, the poppy symbolizes extravagance.
