A wonderful aquamarine and seed pearl pendant, with alternating heart shaped petals set in a pansy shape. With the lovely meaning taken from the french je pensee or to think, they would be given to the wearer to mean 'think of me'.
Originally a brooch, it has been converted to a pendant by our goldsmith.
