Charming gold plated and violet enamel brooch depicting a posy of violets.

Violets were said to symbolise modesty and fidelity in Victorian flower language.

Violets also have a specific association with sapphic love, stemming from the 1926 play: The Captive, where violets were used as a symbol of affection between two women. In the play's wake, women in the audience began to wear violets as a sign of solidarity.

A faux tortoiseshell hair clip with diamante sparkles.

This originates in the late Edwardian era into the early 1920’s.

Tortoiseshell was incredibly popular in the 19th century in jewellery, cigarette cases and hair ornaments but as the tortoise population became smaller and plastic production more widespread it was easy to be fashionable and stylish without the cruelty or the price tag.
