Apples symbolize a wide range of concepts, including temptation, sin, and the fall of man from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. They also represent love, beauty, and immortality, as seen in Greek and Norse myths where they are symbols of eternal youth and divine favor. More broadly, apples symbolize health, knowledge, wisdom, and a connection to nature, as captured by the common saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away” Our apple lapel pin is hand cast in solid, lead-free pewter and then dipped in 22K gold.
