Demetra - Golden Coin

A necklace that seems to come from the depths of the sea, has as a pendant a gold coin of Demeter, Goddess creator of the cycle of the seasons, of wheat and of harvests, mother of Persephone who Hades kidnapped and who by deception forced her to live with him in the underworld.

Demeter, abandoned by the Gods and in the grip of grief, unleashed a cataclysm on the earth that froze the crops and jeopardized the survival of human beings.

Zeus was therefore forced to intervene but having now tasted food in the underworld (a pomegranate seed) Persephone could simply "divide" the girl between Hades and Demeter who could each see her for 6 months of the year.

From here, the seasons were born: the six months of cold and frost would be the months in which Persephone resided with Hades and the six months of rebirth and warmth would be the months spent in the company of her mother, on earth.

The necklace is dedicated to the strength of Mothers and women, I wanted the coin to seem as if it had been lost for centuries but still have a unique splendor! Because nothing can bend that strength ✨

It will be perfect worn alone or layered with other golden necklaces!
