“Forget-me-not, O Lord!” is what a poor German knight shouted as he fell into a river.

He and his lady were picking flowers by the side of the river at the time.

Yet as fate would have it, the knight’s armour dragged him down to the bottom

as he fell in. Upon his cries to the Lord, he threw the blue posy of flowers

to his loved one and promptly drowned.

These lovely bangles are increasingly collectable and sought after worldwide.

This bangle has been tested for Silver using jewellery acid testers.
