Joan Rivers Tri-Color Dogwood Flower Necklace - American Vintage Jewelry

Today, I'm sharing a necklace featuring a plant I adore – the dogwood flower. Legend has it that the dogwood tree, due to its sturdy wood, was used to create the cross for Jesus' crucifixion. Therefore, the dogwood flower symbolizes resilience, steadfastness, and also represents rebirth, resurrection, and purity. Beyond its religious significance, in the Victorian era, bachelors would pick a dogwood flower to give to a woman they admired. If the woman kept the flower without returning it, it signified her affection for him. Thus, the dogwood represented a mutual love 💕 This necklace from Joan Rivers features three tri-color dogwood flowers, reinterpreting this very popular theme in vintage jewelry with its consistently rich and vibrant style. Each flower boasts a dazzling array of colors, bringing a bright and warm radiance to the common earthy, black, and white color palettes of autumn and winter outfits. . . . 〖 Joan Rivers 〗 The founder was active in the film, television, and fashion industries from the 60s to the 90s, attracting countless fans with her sharp and humorous wit, making her highly influential.
