Aphrodite Drop Earrings – Gold-Plated Silver

Description

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and fertility. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus.
According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite was born in Cyprus and was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. She rose from the sea’s foam on the shore of Paphos, a location of unique beauty, known today as Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greek).

Aphrodite is the inspiration behind Sister. Like our craftspeople, she is an island native and therefore our Sister and muse. The earrings have been designed in our Berlin Studio and are handmade in Lefkara by George and Panagiotis.

About the Brand

SISTER

a platform for curated, handcrafted products lovingly made under the Mediterranean sun. Born in Cyprus, Aphrodite’s birthplace, Sister curates and designs products from the island, supporting the local craftsmanship and breathing life back into century-old, artisan trades.Sister was created by Antonia, a Cypriot, now living in Berlin. At the start of 2018 her lifelong desire to create a brand that supports the island’s local craftsmanship became a ‘now or never’ project. Having been abroad for over 12 years, she felt the need to creatively reconnect with her birthplace and to rekindle her fascination for Cypriot heritage, the traditions that make it so unique and the enchanting stories that are passed on through the generations, under lemon trees.
