“Fruit of the Dead” Halved Split Pomegranate Punica Granatum Wineapple Grenade Heliotrope Persephone Hades Underworld Adonis Greek Gods Goddess Red Spinel Nestled Clustered Arils/Seeds Etched Engraved Stylistic Botanical Garden Blooming Flora Leaves Fertility Abundance Rebirth Righteousness Elegant Upscale Luxurious Glamorous Silver Necklace. In Greek mythology, the pomegranate was known as the "fruit of the dead" because it came from the blood of Adonis. By eating a few pomegranate seeds, Greek Goddess Persephone tied herself to Hades (& the Underworld)—the pomegranate being a symbol of the indissolubility of marriage. In Christian art (usually Virgin Mary & Child), the pomegranate symbolizes resurrection & eternal life. In Judaism, the pomegranate is a symbol of righteousness because it is said to have 613 seeds, corresponding to the 613 commandments of the Torah. This pendant displays an image of a halved pomegranate with silver fruit body & 3 red spinel stone seeds/arils intermingled with silver ball beads, both in varying sizes. The pith/flesh/mesocarp is etched beautifully with stylistic branching botanicals. On a link chain. New. *Matching earrings also available!
