[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 318785, member: 5833"]Hello, Marko, thank you for sharing a few of your lovelies with us. The first one is a rather abstract mother of pearl rendering of the second, which is a very nice helmet shell cameo of the [URL='https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/three-graces']Three Graces[/URL] for $18. (Don't you just love making those kind of finds!) The angel is genuine mother of pearl, but these seem to be mass produced, cut mechanically by some means; I have one like her set in a ring and have seen many others that match it line for line. A couple of nicely set helmet shell pretty ladies, followed by my favorite, the conch shell earrings, embellished with marcasites, with cameos of Ariadne, who, after helping Theseus to escape the labyrinth and Minotaur, then being abandoned by him on the island of Naxos, was given in marriage by the gods to the wine god Dionysus/Bacchus. And, of course your favorite, who is indeed Venus (as is my avatar). Nice that your husband knows that one goddess deserves another. :joyful:[/QUOTE]
