One day he gives you a beautiful old book. It's a collection of love sonnets bound in leather and embossed in gold. Together you open the cover and find a woman's name- something timeless like Katherine or Eleanor- and a date from the turn of the last century, written in neat elegant handwriting. There is something inside the book. You carefully spread open to a poem by Byron-- "She walks in beauty, like the night..."--and there you find a pressed rose, aged by time and very fragile. You gently close the book again, careful not to spill even a speck of dust. How long had the rose been there? Was the woman who wrote her name inside the cover the same woman who pressed the treasured rose in its pages? Did her lover also give her this volume? You think that you may never have the answers to this mystery, but then he hands you a single red rose, and you understand completely.
Our Pressed Flower hair ornament could become your own personal treasure. The petals of this lovely rose are beautifully detailed marcasite ribbons of antique silver-tone. Genuine Austrian crystals sparkle and glitter though out the piece. You'll especially love the brilliant larger crystal in the center of the rose. The pin is capped by a lovely fleur-de-lis design that is also mirrored in the petals. The flower spans 3 inches wide, 2 3/8 inches high, and 1 1/8 inches deep. The pin measures 5 5/8 inches long from end to end. You'll have fun deciding on a hairstyle with this piece since it can be used creatively with both updo's and longer hairstyles as well. This piece is a compliment to any color of gown and is the perfect touch for other formal occasions as well.
The bride is wearing jewelry set No.467 and veil No.605 which are not included. Be sure to check the other galleries for wedding accessories perfect for yourself or your bridesmaids.
