On the Vine: Jewelry for the Romantic



If hearts are the obvious symbol of love, I find that botanical designs—especially those in a vine-like form—are a more subtle ode to romance. The ivy, in particular, is said to represent an affectionate attachment (as well as eternity and fidelity), while in Celtic folklore, the common presence of a vine often represents connection and eternity, amongst other things.

I have always found vine or leaf jewelry to be incredibly romantic, probably because it makes me think of a fairytale; the symbol is always worked in there somewhere, be it the design of a dress, the exterior of a cottage, or something more literal. So, the moral of the story is, if your customers are looking for a sweet gift this holiday season, but don’t want anything too on-the-nose, the vine is where it’s at (as is the laurel leaf, expanding your options).
