Extremely rare and sought after antique 'Effeuiller la Marguerite' spinner charm - 'He loves me, he loves me not'.
 
Fashioned in the shape of a spinning top, this six sided charm features an enamelled daisy shedding a petal on one side and with the with the following phrases on the other sides -
Il M'aime, He loves me, 
Un Peu, A little, 
Beaucoup, A lot, 
Paissionnement, Passionately, 
Pas Du Tout, Not at all.
The base of the charm is stamped with 9ct 
 
The tradition went that you would pull the petals from a daisy flower saying he loves me, me loves me not until the end when you are left with one remaining petal, which gives you the answer to the question. With the charm you spin her and the side she lands on gives you the answer.
