First Love - 1847 Rogers Bros.
About the First Love Pattern
Introduced in 1937 by 1847 Rogers Bros, First Love is one of the most beloved and recognizable silverplate patterns ever created. Designed at the height of the Art Deco era, it blends gentle floral motifs with elegant vertical lines, creating a look that feels both romantic and refined.
There’s a reason collectors adore this pattern — it carries the sweetness of its name. First Love was crafted to symbolize devotion, tenderness, and the beauty of new beginnings. Nearly a century later, it still feels just as heartfelt.
Design Details
The First Love pattern is known for its:
- soft, sculpted floral bouquet
- graceful Deco‑inspired lines
- balanced symmetry
- delicate raised detailing
These elements translate beautifully into jewelry and accessories. The floral cluster becomes a natural focal point, while the vertical lines create structure and movement. It’s a pattern that feels gentle, nostalgic, and quietly elegant.

In fact, the floral bouquet and Deco lines were protected design elements were trademarked!
