Omnia Vincit Amor... Love Conquers All ~ Pendant

While we often associate roses with romantic love, it is not widely known that different colors and even quantities of roses could communicate different meanings. Red roses, for example, are usually symbols of romance--however, in Greek mythology it is said that Eros gave a red rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence. Secrecy. Dating back to the middle ages, red roses that were hung above tables stated that all words spoken here must be kept strictly secret. As for other colors, pink is for grace and sweetness, white for new starts and wisdom and yellow for enthusiasm and friendship. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though! The language of flowers is ancient and different bouquet combinations can translate surprisingly complex messages.
