Venus
Item #:
OC11
In Roman mythology, Venus was said to be the daughter of Jupiter, although she was born of the Sea and the Sky and came to earth in a shell from under the sea.
The Roman goddess of love and beauty was originally a vegetation goddess and patroness of gardens and vineyards.
Venus had a son named Cupid, the mischievous and winged god of love. He was her constant companion and, armed with bow and arrows, shot the arrows of desire into the bosoms of both gods and men. He later married Psyche, and they produced a child named Pleasure.
Venus is, of course, associated with affairs of the heart. The last great temple of Venus was built by the emperor Hadrianus near the Colosseum in 135 AD.

THE ODYSSEY COLLECTION was conceived by Sam Lax, and the original drawings based on Sam's concepts were created by Karin Swildens, internationally-acclaimed artist and sculptress. Then Sam breathed dimension into these drawings to bring you this exciting collection, cast in fine Pewter by the late Don Tortolani, Sr. His son, Don Jr., promises to follow in his father’s footsteps when it comes to the quality of his castings. Each piece of the collection is hand-finished and antiqued to bring you an heirloom-quality piece of pewter jewelry depicting the ruler of your astrological sign.
