Reverse description
The reverse is an expression of love that transcends romance. The feelings and thoughts associated with love are represented by the bouquet of jasmine flowers, which are widely regarded as a precious symbol of beauty, love affection, purity or good luck. Enhanced with gold plating, a ribbon weaves its way through the flowers to form an intricate infinity heart that represents unity and an unending bond.
