Topaz & Gem Set Georgian Pansy Brooch gassman it is a marvel toAs many of you know, the pansy motif signaled to the giver and receiver that they were always thought of. "Pensez" is the French verb for "thinking of" which sounds like the word, pansy. Yet, it is less discussed, but apparent, that most pansy leaves were depicted with at least two colors of gemstones, sometimes even three. To suggest the variegated leaves of the real flower, these colors also helped portray a three dimensional quality to the blooms.
