Aphrodite's Sea Foam (Pleasure)

Jewellery
2023
925 sterling silver, freshwater pearls
4.5cm x 3.5cm
Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, Aphrodite represents pleasure. Her beauty and intrigue were born from the sea foam hence her container has a rounded, feminine, ‘bubble’ design with matte silver exterior. The holes cut from the box side were used to create the pearl and myrtle (Aphrodite’s symbolic flower) earrings that are displayed outside the box. All aspects of this work are handmade. Modelled on Christina van Putten
