Late 19th Century French Ivy Leaves & Bows Festoon Necklace
IN THE VICTORIAN language of flowers, Ivy - a clinging vine - is the floral equivalent of a long, warm hug. Ivy's evergreen nature, thriving even in darkness, represents immortality and long life. This heavy necklace is stamped with French hallmarks. The swag elements are solid and substantial.
