This charming 18k yellow gold necklace is centered by five interlinked mistletoe branches.
In antique jewellery, mistletoe symbolizes love, fertility, vitality, and protection. Due to its ability to remain green during winter, it was seen as a symbol of undying love, and was therefore often seen as a romantic depiction of loyalty and resilience.
