This Forget-me-knot and Ivy ring is set with a 4mm stone and is tapered in the back for a more comfortable fit. It is 7mm wide at the center front and tapers down to 4.5mm in the back.

We have a version of this band without a stone, see Tapered Forget-Me-Nots and Ivy Band With Rims (WB-40).

These bands are composed of intertwining ivy and forget-me-nots, both of which have symbolic meaning going back to ancient times. Ivy, in Greek mythology was associated with the Dionysian cult of wine and worldly pleasures, unrestrained joy give or take a few hangovers. The Romans used a draft of ivy leaves boiled in wine as a "hair of the dog" remedy for hangover. Later, Ivy's tenacious ability to hang in there made it a fitting symbol for a strong relationship in medieval symbolism. The flowers of the Forget-me-not symbolize true love and remembrance. They have a long history in Pharmacopeia, the petals, stems and leaves being used to treat illness and injury for millennia. Truly, a flower not to be forgotten.
