Flower with Garnet Stone - Pewter Trinket Box

A charming and beautifully textured forget-me-not pewter keepsake flower box with a Garnet stone in the centre.

Great gifts for nature lovers.

Our silver coloured little keepsake box make a great 10th Tin wedding Anniversary present (pewter is 95% tin), and it also makes a perfect gift for any special occasion.

The forget-me-not is associated with romance, but it also has a tragic fate and was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love.

Legend tells of a knight and his lady who were walking along a riverbank. He picked a posy of flowers, but because of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "forget me not!".

Garnet is the birthstone for January and also celebrates the 2nd anniversary of marriage. The name “garnet” comes from the Latin word “Garanatus,” meaning “seedlike,” in reference to a pomegranate seed.

Every Glover and Smith trinket box is hand crafted from polished, solid pewter. Modern pewter is completely lead-free so it won't tarnish like the pewter of years gone by which had a high lead content and a dull finish. It is also nickel-free and therefore hypoallergenic. 

Because these items are all created in solid metal, the surface of the  trinket box will never flake like a silver plated box. To clean, simply wash with warm soapy water.
