Persephone Earrings - The Gilded Witch

Beautiful drop earrings from Les Nereides, showcasing a pair of pomegranates.  One earring shows the pomegranate whole, while the other has a slice removed to show the seeds inside.  Hand-enameled and made in Paris, France.  

The Pomegrante, made famous by the Myth of Persephone, symbolizes fertility, beauty, sex, lust and innocence.  Much like Persephone, its attributes contain the two sides of love - innocent purity and sexual lust. 

Persephone had to spend 6 months out of the year with Hades, God of the Underworld, before she could return to her mother Demeter above ground.  When she returned to her mother, Spring awakened.  When she descended to Hades to take up her position as Queen of the Underworld, Winter began.  She, along with Pomegrante, became a dual-icon for both forms of love.

Size: ~1.5"

Materials: Brass, 14kt gold plating, hand-enamel, faceted crystals

Feminine and sophisticated, timeless and proud of its inspiration drawn from Nature, Les Néréides offers a collection of one of a kind affordable luxury jewels.


This vision is driven by the search for sophistication and ultra feminity. Each detail of each design by Les Néréides is carefully considered, in the purest tradition of French good taste. “Fashion fades, but style is here to stay”: anchored in 40 years of expertise, Les Néréides offers a timeless style, governed by vibrant colors.


In the heart of its Parisian workshop, each piece stems from a drawing straight out of the imagination of the designers. The jewels are then manufactured and delicately hand-painted following the enameling technique.

Les Néréides is also committed socially. In 2015, Pascale and Enzo Amaddeo created the Foundation Loves Animals. Each season, 15% of the sales of two specific collections are donated to shelters and associations that have been selected based upon their actions for the animal cause. This love for animals is a reality in the company where employees can bring their dog at the office. At times, you will meet up to 9 of them in our Paris offices.

GOLD-FILLED

  • If your item is gold-filled, it is extremely tarnish resistant
    While it is more durable than gold-plated, it may eventually tarnish if exposed
    to very harsh chemicals like some lotions, chlorine and salt water.  
  • Remove gold-filled jewelry before swimming to make it last as
    long as possible
  • For the longest life with the highest shine, remove your
    jewelry before swimming, showering and exercising. 

GOLD-PLATED

  • If your item is gold-plated, it is tarnish resistant, not
    proof.  It will eventually tarnish if exposed to water, moisture, lotions,
    or chemicals.  
  • Remove gold-plated jewelry before showering, swimming or
    exercising to make it last as long as possible
  • Please be aware that some individual body pH's can also tarnish
    gold plating.  The oils in your skin may accelerate the tarnishing
    process, or cause that well-known green ring underneath.  If you know that
    you are prone to this, consider purchasing our gold-filled products or sterling
    silver.
