“Birth of Venus" Aphrodite Greek Roman Mythology Goddess Handmade Necklace

Greek poet Hesiod recounts in his epic, Theogony, that the goddess Aphrodite (or Venus) was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus, after his son Cronus threw them into the sea. This is why the goddess's name comes from the Greek word aphros, meaning “foam." Celebrate the birth of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, with this unique handmade necklace with charms that are symbols of Aphrodite. This unisex necklace features at the center, a gold-dipped pendant of a real fan seashell behind a silver goddess pendant, inspired by classical art like Botticelli's famous Renaissance painting, Birth of Venus. To its left are silver charms of a hand mirror and a dove. To its right are charms of two swans and a rose. Round sparkling pink glass stones intersperse every charm and pendant and dangle from the silver goddess pendant in the center as well. This necklace has been newly handmade just for you, and is adjustable from 18 to 26.25 inches (can be made shorter or longer upon request). Love handmade jewelry that is mythology themed?
