Calla Lilly Pendant / Brooch / Floral Pendant and Brooch

The legend of the calla lily is very similar to that of other lilies. It begins with Hera, the Greek goddess. In this story, she refused to give her milk to her husband, Zeus' son Hercules because Hercules was born to another woman. Zeus tried to force her to feed Hercules in the cover of night while Hera slept.

Another Greek Legend regarding the calla lily begins with Venus, the goddess of beauty, love, and desire. One day, Venus came across a patch of lilies. She was drawn in by their beauty but then quickly became jealous of it. She decided she must put a curse on the flower, so placed a yellow pistil in the center of the flower. Interestingly, the pistil adds to the uniqueness and beauty of the flower today.

This pendant is worthy of the envy that Venus had of the striking flower. In this pendant the pistil is a beautiful iridescent pearl which adds interest and allure to the pendant. But what is amazing is the versatility of this piece, it may also be worn on a blazer or a winter coat for added value.

This piece can be worn as a brooch or as a pendant.

This pendant/brooch is made out of sterling silver and is marked for metal purity.
