Ivy Symbolism - Ivy Symbolism is varied & complex. The ivy is considered a symbol of survival and determination. It seems to be virtually indestructible and will often return after it has suffered damage or has been severely cut back. Because it thrives in the shade, ivy also represents : debauchery, carousing, merrymaking, sensuality, the flourishing of hidden desires, and the enjoyment of secret or forbidden pleasures. Dionysus/Bacchus, satyrs, and Sileni are often wreathed in ivy. Crowns of ivy were believed to prevent intoxication and thought to aid inspirational thinking. Therefore, the Greeks crowned their poets with wreaths of this plant.

{ SOLID STERLING SILVER }
This Pendant is made from Solid .925 Silver. Real Sterling NEVER contains nickel or lead. Our charms, pendants, earrings and findings listed as Sterling Silver in this shoppe are NOT silver plated or silver filled; they are NOT silver plated, or 'silver colored', 'antique silver' or sterling silver plated -- that is just plain confusing!
A Sterling, SS or .925 quality mark that is stamped directly on the object OR attached as a tag is supposed to indicate that the entire piece is Sterling Silver. According to the National Gold and Silver Act if a piece is marked or has an attached tag that says “sterling”, "SS" or “925,” it must be SOLID sterling Silver, not sterling silver plated or sterling silver filled. SADLY -- Lately many pieces coming out of different countries have a 925 stamped on them -- After we've had them assayed, however, it turns out many of these pieces are only 20 to 60-percent silver (not 92.5) -- Remember, ANYONE can stamp a piece -- .925 stamps are readily available on the jewelry making market.
Please be careful out there! -- If you would like to see how Lost Wax Casting is done, please feel free to visit our website or YouTube Channel.
We hope this information helps you when buying your Sterling Silver jewelry.
