Collector NoteOn Floriography. 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. For example, red roses were (and still are today) associated with romantic love and passion, while forget-me-nots symbolized remembrance. On Color. Color plays a key role in jewelry design and, in turn, its collectibility. Whether natural stones or glass, what exact hue of blue was used or the combination of colors can tell you what time period a piece was made. Certain shades can be more common during a particular decade, making that piece of jewelry a classic example of the period - or - conversely, a vibrant and unique shade might make it uncommon. _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
