Adonis possessed otherworldly beauty and was the mortal lover of the goddesses Aphrodite and Persephone. As an infant, the abandoned Adonis was found by Aphrodite and given to Persephone to raise. Then he became a total hottie and the two fought relentlessly over the right to carnally possess him. Zeus eventually got fed up with their feud and mandated that Adonis spend part of the year below ground with Persephone, part of the year with Aphrodite, and the other part with whomever he chose, and of course he chose Aphrodite because he wasn’t brave enough to handle the goth Queen of the Dead Persephone, who probably was into some kinky shit, I’m just saying…

Adonis was gored by a wild boar and died in Aphrodite’s arms, his blood mingling with her tears to create the anemone flower. 

The Adonis Necklace and Earrings feature a beautiful face, reminiscent of classical marble sculptures, with bright, dazzling round-cut cubic zirconia stones for eyes. The pendant is handmade of bronze, and the stones are set by hand and cast directly into the metal. The pendants measure a little more than a 1/2 inch across and are accented with round howlite stones, which are reminiscent of marble. The Adonis Necklace chain is 18 inches and 14K gold-filled, and the earrings are made with 14K gold-filled wires, so they’re hypoallergenic. This necklace and earrings set is available in .999 fine silver upon request. 

Because of the unique nature of handmade jewelry, each piece of bronze or silver jewelry may have very slight variations. This jewelry is handmade in my North Little Rock, Arkansas, studio.
