Orange Tree - Generosity in Gold Vermeil

Orange Tree {Generosity}

During the Victorian era flowers often bore hidden messages to those who received them.

Sentiments such as longing, bashfulness, and true love could be conveyed through the flowers given & received.

Handcrafted from the impression of an early 19th century French wax seal set, this pendant features an Orange tree branch, with both blossoms and a ripe Orange. In the Victorian era, Orange blossoms were commonly worn in bridal veils, and tucked into bouquets, and Oranges were given in the Christmas stocking. As Oranges had to be shipped in from the Mediterranean, they were considered an expensive, and exotic novelty. Their luxury during the Victorian era is why the Orange was symbolic of generosity.
