Victorian Edelweiss AMITIÉ Love Token Pendant onyx It rests on an exquisiteDATE: Victorian, c. 1880 A lovely antique French love token pendant featuring a fine enamelled Edelweiss flower above the word Amiti. It's crafted in silver and dates from the latter half of the 19th Century, circa 1880.

In the Victorian language of the flowers it symbolised courage, bravery, and love.
