This brooch is easily recogniseble as a rose, due to the realistic carved lapidary workmanship in an unusual lavender rose quartz variety and nephrite jade.

Roses are probably the most popular flowers, and they are often depicted in jewellery. A bouquet of roses symbolises gratitude.

A light or pale pink rose conveys grace, gentleness, joy and happiness. The symbolism of a lavender rose is often tied to enchantment, wonder, splendor and mystery as well as love at first sight or enchantment at first sight.
