Quinces are one of the oldest know fruits and contain a higher concentration of pectin that most. Seen as a symbol of love and associated with Venus in Roman mythology, and Aphrodite in Greece. When the fruit is ripe it almost seems to glow on the tree, and this jacket pin reflects the light behind the glass cab with a golden hue. It was thought that Witches could turn into the shapes of Quinces, or you could hang them in your doorway for protection, or as a gift traded between lovers to preserve the sweetness of the relationship. This Jacket/Vest/Bag pin is an ode to these ancient fruits, and has two rubber backs to secure it whichever way you choose to style it.
