These refined, vintage inspired lockets are like tussie mussies from Victorian times.
In floriography, the Victorian language of flowers, tussie mussies or nose gays were given to a beloved to convey a message. These small floral bouquets were gifted as a piece of poetry that appealed to the eyes and the sense of smell. The word posy was first written as poesy referring to poetry.
The design on the face of this locket is the Victorian diamond pattern. The unique, vintage beaded chains have been created specifically for us by local artisan Amy of Adorn Reborn, who repurposed antique jewelry.
PERFUME DETAILS
- Materials: Local beeswax; Organic jojoba oil; vital plant essences including essential oils, absolutes and co2 extracts; and our own artisanal infusions
- The inside recessed circle of the locket contains a solid perfume pan measures 23mm. The small tray will supply about 30 applications of the fragrance. There is approximately 1.5 grams by weight of solid perfume in the little replacement tin. The tin is held in place with a tiny amount of removable putty.
- The solid natural perfume is poured into a separate aluminum pan so that they will not adversely react with the raw metal of the locket. This insures longevity of your perfume and also gives you the option to swap out different fragrances.
-
In the future we intend to offer the solid perfume pans individually so that a different scent can be chosen for each occasion. In the meantime, save the tin and request a refill.
