Sterling Venus Erycina Erotic Love Ring

Description

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.  

Carved in wax and made in sterling. This ring is available sizes 6 1/2, 7 1/2, 7 3/4, and size 9 The venus is 3/4in long.
