Nell Gwyn Face of Venus Pendant

Inspired by Nell Gwyn and the portrait depicting her as Venus, goddess of love and beauty. Rising from humble beginnings to become a successful Restoration actress and mistress of Charles II, Nell remained remarkably popular with the public. Her humour, warmth and celebrated wit distinguished her from the King’s other mistresses. Portraying her as Venus elevated her beauty and sensuality through classical mythology, while reflecting her intimate place within the King’s affections. A miniture replica of the Venus de Milo, whose serene face has captivated generations from her home in the Louvre Museum. This elegant pendant is handmade in fine silver, capturing the goddess’s timeless profile with sculptural delicacy, finished with sterling silver findings and each piece carries the subtle individuality of the maker’s hand. Wear it as a symbol of beauty, mystery and classical grace, a fragment of ancient inspiration transformed into modern adornment. A luminous keepsake for those drawn to art, mythology and the eternal allure of Venus and Nell, reimagined anew. Please note as this piece is handmade every pendant will differ slightly from the images above. This pendant comes on a beautiful green ribbon which can be worn as a choker necklace.
