    Here is a 3"L x 2"W bright goldtone mermaid Venus brooch with faux freshwater pearl by JJ Jonette (1935-2006) along with an 8" alabaster statue of the goddess Venus/Aphrodite made in Greece by Pegasus, both pieces obviously inspired by Botticelli's Birth of Venus painting.
    Happy BD to all on CW born under the sign Virgo, hope you will enjoy these symbols of your sign :)

      Oooh- this is just the kind of thing I adore! My mother happens to be a Virgo too and this I think is a lovely brooch for all Virgos. I adore the painting that it's based on, I find it so elegant and feminine and I think this brooch really complements that. I've also noticed she stands to the side on her shell which in the original painting she'd actually in the middle of it- I think this pose is better looking-it looks as if she'd been buffeted ashore by Zephyr-(God of the Wind I'm sure?!)

      Gillian thanks so much for the wonderful comment, it makes me feel so good that you thought these were a great pairing, I really tried for a compatible Virgo duo here and so glad it came out nice
