SOLD Antique Sterling Silver, Turquoise & Seed pearl Lily Brooch

In the Victorian language of flowers, the lily means purity, innocence and rebirth. It was customary to gift jewelry with floral motifs that indicated one's sentiments to another. The lily also has symbolism in the Christian religion, and this may have been a piece associated with a religious ceremony. Crafted in sterling silver, the beautiful lily flower is decorated with Persian turquoise and seed pearls, a very popular combination during the Victorian Era. Perfectly elegant on your lapel, and appropriate for all sexes, it is one boutonniere that will never wilt!
