Venus

Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky.

Venus (meaning "love" or "sexual desire") was a major Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility, who played a key role in many Roman religious festivals and myths. From the third century BC, the increasing Hellenization of Roman upper classes identified her as the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite.

My next necklace is named "Venus".
After a little research  resulting in the two definitions above, I decided the name fit this necklace.
The pear shaped pendant is a beautiful Rose Quartz, sculpted with Argentium 930 wire. Encircling this pendant is wire and Fire Opal Swarovski Crystals.
The necklace which is 18 inches long with a 3 inch extending chain with a delicate silver plated lobster claps, is made exclusively of glass pearls in mauve and cream, enhcanced by more Swarovski crystals in Fire Opal.

Venus is a beauty to behold at $44.00 with free US shipping and discounted International shipping.
