Why Give A Personalized 24k Gold Dipped Valentine's Day Rose?

Valentine's Day roses symbolize love and beauty. Love is one of the most influential emotions we feel on a day to day basis. Feeling it makes us feel wanted, needed, and appreciated. Beauty, for the woman, is sought after everyday. She just wants to look and feel beautiful. Our personalized preserved Valentine's Day roses give you the chance to show her your forever love and your admiration of her beauty through symbolism and your own words. It's a gift that will find a place in her heart to stay.

Why Do We Give Roses For Valentine's Day?

The tradition of giving Valentine’s Day flowers dates back to the late 17th century, during the reign of King Charles II of Sweden. During a trip to Persia, King Charles II was exposed to a new art—the language of flowers. This expressionist art focused on one’s ability to communicate using flowers without uttering any words at all. (Can you guess what different flowers mean?) The fad boomed throughout Europe, with lists of flowers and their meanings widely distributed.

In the language of flowers, giving someone a yellow carnation meant they’d disappointed you, and giving someone a purple hyacinth meant you were sorry and begging to be forgiven. The red rose, as you may have guessed, translated to deep love.

The rose took on this meaning because of its affiliation with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. In Greek mythology, it is said that rose bushes grew from the ground through Aphrodite’s tears and the blood of her lover, Adonis. The Romans, who turned Aphrodite into their goddess Venus, kept the rose as her symbol of love and beauty. So when Valentine’s Day became the mainstream holiday we know today, the rose was an obvious choice for the most fitting gift.
