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.
