1980s Baroque Style Purple Gem Pewter Necklace (Brand New, Unused) Mother's Day Gift

In Western culture, purple is also synonymous with nobility, frequently favored by royalty. This stems from ancient times when the Tyrian purple dye, used by the Roman Empire, was exclusively for aristocratic wear. The resulting hue, close to crimson, was highly prized by emperors. During the Byzantine era, emperors of direct royal lineage would append "Born To The Purple" to their titles, signifying their legitimate birthright and distinguishing themselves from rulers who attained the throne through other means. Visions of purple evoke romance and fantasy, inviting contemplation and cherished memories. It's a color often chosen by young women in their formative years, embodying a blend of solitary allure and captivating charm. Purple is a gentle hue, beautiful and poetic, leaving a lasting impression. It also represents intense emotion, hence the expression "Purple passion." Purple love is noble and pure, unconcerned with worldly wealth, perhaps moved only by an irreplaceable true love originating from the heart. It's a love that conceals ardor within coolness, much like the fox in The Little Prince, waiting for its prince before emerging from its den. Or perhaps, it's a love destined to be lived out in perpetual anticipation.
