Demeter

Various Swarovski crystal and pearl Elements, and all wire is Gold plated.

"In systematized theology, Demeter is a daughter of Cronus and Rhea and sister of Zeus by whom she became the mother of Persephone. When Persephone was abducted by Hades, lord of the underworld, Demeter wandered the earth in search of her lost child. During this time the earth brought forth no grain. Finally Zeus sent Hermes to the underworld, ordering Hades to restore Persephone to her mother. However, before she left, Hades gave her a pomegranate (a common fertility symbol). When she ate from it, she was bound to spend a third of the year with her husband in the infernal regions. Only when her daughter is with her, Demeter lets things grow (summer). The dying and blossoming of nature was thus connected with Demeter."

One for the mother unit. Fairly appropriate, I suppose - I did make Hades for the fiance unit.

I dunno, it's not like we have Summer in my country; but this piece just feels fairly summery and harvesty to me.

I really liked the clasp/s idea, and personally I'm especially fond on the "chain" at the back. Mmm.


In other news, I have another Goddess piece coming up in a few days. Stay tuned for Sedna.
