The "language of flowers" was widely recognized at the court of the Empress Catherine the Great. Bouquets, rings and fans ornamented in a special way could speak a lot about the feelings of a dame or cavalier. A plum leaf and blossom had a symbolical meaning and gained great popularity in Russia where they were used as romantic emblems. Such rings were worn in pairs - one on each hand. Modern jewelers have made a copy of the famous ring from the Empress' collection which display all the characteristics of 18th-century Chinese jewelry. This elegant decoration will suit both a young girl and a self-confident lady.
