EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases The Nightingale Jewel, a decorative piece presented by Queen Victoria to Florence Nightingale in 1856. The Nightingale Jewel was given as a mark of esteem and gratitude for Nightingale's selfless dedication to the welfare of British soldiers during the Crimean War. The design of the jewel is said to have originated from the pencil of Prince Albert, the Prince Consort, and was subsequently entrusted to Mr. Garrard, the Crown jeweler, for execution. The Nightingale Jewel is a stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship, featuring gold rays emanating from its center, symbolizing heavenly sympathy and divine intervention. The inscription, "Blessed are the merciful," is a poignant reminder of Nightingale's compassionate nature and her unwavering commitment to alleviating the suffering of the soldiers. The label bearing the word "Crimea" is in azure blue, reminiscent of the riband of the Crimean Medal, adding an authentic touch to the piece. The jewel is further adorned with three brilliant diamond stars, representing the celestial significance of Nightingale's heroic actions and her status as a celestial guardian for the soldiers. The Nightingale Jewel is a testament to the deep appreciation and admiration Queen Victoria had for Nightingale's unwavering dedication and her role in the Crimean War. This exquisite piece continues to serve as a symbol of compassion, mercy, and the power of one individual to make a profound impact on the lives of many.
