Like many woman Venus was divided by her different roles.

There was Venus Genetrix (”Mother Venus”),Venus Felix (”Lucky Venus”), even Venus Kallipygos (”Venus with the pretty bottom”), and the list goes on, an epithet for each the different facets of the goddess

Venus Ercina was the Venus of untamed or wild love in other words, erotic love.

Literally it means “queen of the heather” an untamed rose that grew out of the rocks.

This sterling ring unearths an image of powerful beauty, vulnerability, and complexity of female sexuality in the simplest form I could think of. Inspired by Jean Leon Gerome and done in the Art Nouveau style.

Metal: Sterling Silver

The venus is 3/4in long.

Status: Artisan Handmade

Care: Rose sterling reacts with the acid in your skin and may leave a temporary mark. Eventually after polishing and wearing it will no longer leave a mark.

I grew up in a family, as many do, where the women cook, sew and create art in

traditional ways. Skills in Crochet and Lace were handed down in my family. It skipped me. Or should I say I skipped it. Sadly lace making is a time consuming task that I didn’t take to. Ask my mother and she will say it was too quiet and still for me. Mothers know best. It was.

I took to metal working, glass blowing, and enameling. While my female family, mom, grandmother, aunt and cousins knitted, crocheted and weaved lace I was hammering metal. Fired up a kiln, picked up a torch.  hmmm…. starting to see a fire theme here.

These pendants are my lace making, an ode to those quiet artists everywhere that make stunning pieces that we use in our everyday life.

Look at me mom!!! I’m making Lace !
