Mother Goddess Statement Necklace

- Venus Symbol Fertility Jewelry -

This handmade statement necklace combines a unique mother goddess pendant with African jade beads and freshwater pearls in a meaningful jewelry creation. The pendant, crafted in the USA by a polymer-clay artisan, depicts a goddess figure whose midsection is decorated with a spiral—a sign of fertility. She is nicely molded in partial relief and highlighted with silver coloring against an oval base of honey-shaded gold. This well-made and durable pendant is attached to the necklace strand with a sterling jump ring.

The African jade beads are barrel-shaped and green, reflective of the fertility association, and are decorated at both ends by sterling silver petalled bead caps. The freshwater pearls are light green and deep gold, the latter complementing the gold color in the pendant. The length of the necklace is approximately 21.5 inches. The metal beads, clasp, and finishing components are all sterling silver.

With its eye-catching combination of elegance and tribal style, this necklace would make a lovely gift for anyone who loves unique handmade jewelry that is also symbolically meaningful. It is also nice for anyone who wants to celebrate maternal power and the fertility of women and nature, including those on neo-pagan spiritual pathways. Designed and handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer, this statement necklace comes all wrapped and ready for gifting to someone special—perhaps yourself!

About the Mother Goddess Design
Interestingly, the mother-goddess design originated in ancient times and is based on carvings from the Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic ages. This goddess was associated with fertility, creation, maternal power, earth, and nature itself, and many ancient artifacts of her have been discovered in Anatolia, Eastern Europe, Egypt, and the Near East. Archaeologists sometimes refer to these ancient physical renderings as "Venus" figures. Many contemporary pagans consider the Mother Goddess sacred and thus have brought renewed respect to a highly meaningful figure who was widely worshipped in ancient times.
