Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, prosperity, fertility, and victory. In Greek mythology, she was associated with the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Her symbols are doves, flowers, berries, trees, and pine cones, including the scallop shell, dolphins, pomegranates, pearls, mirrors, and girdles. Many of these were also adopted from Aphrodite. So was her origin story; she was said to be born of seafoam.
This handmade piece of jewellery is made out of cultured pearls, symbolising the birth of Venus and the different coloured beads inspired by the colours of all her symbols. Traditionally, pearls have symbolised everlasting love, loyalty and wisdom. They also represent new beginnings and a fresh start. Their quintessentially shiny white colour also signifies purity, loyalty, innocence, simplicity and, combined with the coloured beads, create a refined and elegant look.
