Symbolism

Forget-Me-Not flowers are a flower of love, trust and remembrance. Whether they are pressed into jewellery or in a bouquet, they are a symbol of devotion and fidelity to your loved one.

They are also a symbol of remembrance and grief, particularly after a loss. This is why they are the official flower of the Armenian Genocide, are used by the Alzheimer’s Society as an awareness-raising symbol and are often seen on objet d’art, gift cards and tattoos.

Origin

The Forget-Me-Not flower is a romantic symbol with a long history of remembrance. Its name comes from a German legend that tells the story of a knight and his lover who were picking flowers by the Danube River, when he fell in. He cried, “Forget-me-not, O Lord!” as he was swept away, and the man threw his beloved a blue posy of flowers to remind her not to forget him.

During the Romantic era, botanicals became popular as a symbol of love and devotion. Their popularity stemmed from a shift in society that was emerging from the Middle Ages, with relationships moving away from church rules and toward interpersonal expressions of affection. Flora was often used in jewellery to express sentiments and feelings that were not allowed to be expressed verbally at that time.

Styles

A popular flower on the floral circuit, the Forget-Me-Not flower is a good ol’ fashion reminder of fond times past. As for jewellery, forget-me-nots are often seen paired with an accompanying tiara.
