I was recently sent a beautiful ivy necklace by Lucy Jade Sylvester to review.
It is so beautiful I just had to share it with you.
I love ivy and it’s rich symbolism and it is often linked to several key meanings:
- Fidelity and Loyalty: Ivy is known for its ability to cling and grow in intertwined patterns, which symbolizes loyalty, attachment, and enduring commitment. It is often associated with love and faithful relationships.
- Eternal Life and Immortality: Due to its evergreen nature, ivy symbolizes immortality, longevity, and the idea of life that continues to thrive. It represents endurance and the strength to withstand time.
- Resilience and Strength: Ivy is a resilient plant, capable of growing in harsh conditions. This gives it the symbolism of perseverance, strength, and the ability to overcome obstacles.
- Friendship and Bonding: The way ivy intertwines and connects with other plants or structures symbolizes strong bonds and lasting friendships. It represents unity and connection.
- Protection: Historically, ivy was thought to provide protection. In ancient times, it was often used in wreaths or placed in homes to ward off evil spirits or offer a sense of safety.
- Growth and Renewal: As a climbing plant, ivy represents personal growth, transformation, and the idea of reaching for new heights. It signifies renewal and the process of evolving.
In essence, ivy is a symbol of loyalty, endurance, and strength, along with growth and protection. A symbol a I will wear with pride!
I love this ivy necklace it’s so sweet It is solid silver and the Ivy leaf is 1.5cm in length. I will wear it every day its simple but so interesting I know it will get a lot of attention!
it is priced at £75 and makes such a lovely gift.
