Piece of the Week: Heather B. Moore’s ‘Lily of the Valley’ Charm
The charm is a celebration of springtime as April showers bring May flowers with the piece’s cluster of diamond raindrops.
April showers bring May flowers!
This week’s “Piece of the Week” was a timely choice for the first week of April, as spring is just beginning.
Heather B. Moore’s “Lily of the Valley” oval charm displays a freehand stamped image of the Lily of the Valley flower with diamond accents totaling 0.02 carats in 14-karat yellow gold.
From the brand’s 2025 spring collection, the charm is a celebration of springtime.
The Lily of the Valley flower has had many different meanings throughout history.
In the Victorian era, it symbolized a return to happiness, according to Country Living, while it represented humility and purity in ancient times.
Looking to modernity, the flower has been associated with motherhood and happiness, or more generally, with spring.
“When we used to walk in the woods, my mom would say, ‘oh the Lily of the Valley is out, that is a sign for spring!’ [It is] a grounding memory of family and curiosities in the forest… The moisture on the leaves would glisten in the morning glow, and we would commence our hunt for crayfish through the streams, over the moss-covered rocks,” said Heather Moore, founder of her eponymous brand.
“When I think of Lily of the Valley, I think of adventures in the woods with my sisters, cousins, pets… my red rain jacket and yellow rain boots and the smell of spring.”
