About this necklace
According to Greek mythology, the goddess Iris served other gods, conveying their messages to humans. The graceful bloom of the same name is often associated with hope and wisdom and is beautifully depicted in this Victorian pendant that hails from the 1880s. Composed in hardstone using an Italian mosaic technique known as pietra dura, the lovely lilac tinted flower (more apparent in person) is set dramatically against a black background and framed in gold embellished by small spheres. Formerly a brooch, it is hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold (with a silver backing) and now suspends from an 18-inch chain.
