The Victorian era was the time of the ‘language of flowers’! This language was actually a system, a cipher that could be read as sentiment or motto by a person who knew the code. In this case, the message is a bit of a pun! A crescent moon forms the base of the pin, while a flower covered in seed pearls sits at the center. The flower represents honey and the crescent, the moon! A lady wearing a ‘honeymoon’ pin such as this would have been recognized and complimented as a new bride with a husband loving enough to give her the pin as a gift!
