Calla Lilies are the most beautiful symbolism of rebirth and fertility across multiple major world belief systems. The entire plant goes dormant every year and returns in full splendor, giving roots to its symbolism. This is why it's often seen at funerals as well I'm hopes the soul of the beloved will rise again in whatever form the spiritual belief supports.
The etymology of calla can be traced to Greek - aptly linked to the word used to mean "magnificent beauty."
Beyond their use in the landscape and as cut flowers, Calla Lily has traditional medicinal applications, including for asthma, bronchitis, skin wounds, abscesses and boils with confirmed antimicrobial activity in vitro. This is a traditional healing plant.
Whatever your intention behind wearing this piece, I hope you enjoy that I left the vintage patina intact, meticulously hand cleaning and polishing only the highlights for dramatic effect.
Stamped sterling silver on the back, this beautiful piece is sure to be a dazzling gift for yourself or another!
Brooch measures just over 1 inch at it's widest point, and is about 2 1/8 inches long. The clasp works smoothly and the pin is a sharp point, also silver, and has no rust. It's lovely.
Each piece is energetically cleansed and recharged with Reiki, moon water, incense, or other modality depending on the material.
