A truly charming Victorian spinning top daisy pendant filled with sentimental love. This sort after jewel is based on the French game “Effeuiller la Marguerite or He loves me, he loves me not in which one person seeks to find out whether the object of their affection returns that love!
This fully functional pendant can be spun ultimately falling to reveal the answer to the questions as it lands on one of the following options, “IL M'AIME, UN PEU, BEAUCOUP, PASSIONNEMENT, & PAS DU TOUT; translating from the French to "he loves me," "a little," "a lot," "passionately," "not at all,". The last panel displays an enamelled daisy with one petal removed - super darling!
The entire pendant is created in 9 carat gold and tactile in the hand. A wonderful curio which makes it a darling charm or pendant. These sentimental Victorian pendants are extremely rare and very sorted after!
