Flowers and jewelry are the go-to gifts. Why flowers? At Sincerely Silver we are reminded of the pleasures surrounding flowers on our senses, through sight, the smells and the touch. The beauty of flowers in their many unique shapes, the colors of flowers in all of their brightness and shadings, the smell of flowers... such unique fragrances.
Gifting flowers has quite a history. The first flowers recorded in history go back to ancient civilizations. This goes back beyond the Victorian era. Ancient Greece used flowers in their mythology. The Daffodil, the Hyacinth, the Rose and the Anemone symbolized a time of beauty and yet tragedy in Greek mythology. Flowers were a “bridge” between the Greek mortal and divine worlds. Also, in Hindu culture consider the Lotus - the mythology surrounding the sun god Ra coming from a giant lotus. In China, the Peony is linked to healing and thought of as a flower associated with wealth and nobility. And, of course, the Rose – a deep association with the Victorian Era. For a Biblical perspective, did you know that the rose shows up first during the time of Solomon? The Hibiscus was thought of as the Rose of Sharon in Song of Solomon 2 because of the size and beauty it has. We could go on. So much to say. Flowers have always been a significant part of everyone’s lives throughout history.
