“During the Victorian era, orchid symbolism shifted to luxury, and today this sense of magnificence and artful splendor continues, with orchids representing rare and delicate beauty. ”

Golden Orchids is an elegant shawl to wrap around your neck. Its shape is semi-circular, a modified triangle, and it’s knitted from the center of neck outwards.
