These self-love earrings are handmade in devotion to Aphrodite Anadyomene, Aphrodite Rising from the Sea. Each hangs from a 24k gold plated brass round lever-back hoop, with a single small glass pearl connecting the hoop to a depiction of Aphrodite. Made of shimmering clay, Aphrodite Anadyomene is depicted rising from the sea and drying her hair, highlighted with gold. This depiction is curved on the top and bottom, with straight vertical sides framing the Lady. Aphrodite rises from the sea, resplendent and acknowledged as such despite wearing no clothes, jewelry, or adornments. Though she climbs from the water with nothing, she does so with the confidence and self-love of someone who knows she is the height of beauty and needs no assistance to be gorgeous. Wear these earrings as you go about your day, and let Aphrodite sing to you of your own beauty, inside and out.
Glass pearls are included as a powerful self-love component. Pearls form when sand or grit enters the shell of a mollusk. The mollusk can't remove the irritant, so it instead transforms it. Grit that could cause wounds and therefore infection instead becomes softened to the touch and beautiful to the eye through the tender care of the mollusk that houses it. The mollusk finds a way to coexist with the grit, turning what others might call a worthless flaw into a beautiful treasure. Aphrodite teaches us how to work this magic ourselves, turning the parts of ourselves society (or our own mind) deems worthless flaws into gorgeous, shining sources of beauty. When we come to treasure our 'flaws', they can become an inner light that shines so brightly others see it when they look at us; it exudes from us in confidence, laughter, winks, and grins. Glass pearls, often demeaned for not being the 'real thing,' teach this lesson better than most. Glass is made from heated sand, just as pearls are made from sand that snuck inside a mollusk's shell. When we most sorely feel the need for help building our self-love, it can be easier to connect with the humble glass pearl than their costly natural counterpart; we may see more of ourselves in glass than pearls. Aphrodite teaches us how to wear simple glass as if they were the most expensive pearls, and how to grow the confidence to make others see the glass as the pearl's equal.
Each earring measures 2 inches from the top of the hoop to the bottom of the clay pendant, which is approximately 0.5 inches wide. These earrings are light weight, and the hoop is made with 24k gold plated brass; it is lead and nickel safe for those with sensitive ears.
These earrings are made using gold tone stainless steel and gold-plated brass. It is possible for these metals to tarnish with prolonged use; this can be avoided with care. To avoid tarnishing, avoid contact with liquids whenever possible and let any cosmetics, lotions, or perfumes/colognes dry completely before putting on your necklace. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keeping your jewelry in a sealed container, such as a jewelry box or plastic bag, can prevent tarnishing by limiting exposure to air, sunlight, heat, and moisture. This is best done if air is pushed out of any plastic bag before sealing and with something included to remove moisture, such as a silica pack or anti-tarnish strip. This is not an exhaustive list of anti-tarnish measures, nor are these measures a guarantee that tarnishing will not occur when worn.
