Aphrodite
Rose Quartz & Pearl Necklace
This striking piece is a deeper, more complex ode to Aphrodite, the Cypriot goddess of love and beauty.
While the rose quartz whispers of romance, the contrasting pearls tell a story of the ocean's depth. We have woven together genuine, rough-cut chunks of Rose Quartz—the stone of the heart—with the dual spirits of the sea: luminous White Baroque Pearls representing the sea foam of Aphrodite's birth, and mysterious Black Baroque Pearls evoking the profound, passionate depths of the Aegean.
Each stone and pearl is hand-selected for its raw, organic form, creating a rhythm of texture and colour that feels elemental and untamed.
Lovingly handmade in our Cyprus studio, this necklace is finished with a signature artisan beaded toggle clasp. It is a modern heirloom for the woman who understands that true love is a balance of gentleness and power.
Due to the organic nature of our materials, this is a one-of-a-kind piece. Please expect slight variations in pearl and gemstone size, shape, and colour.

Care
How to Care for Your Pearls
Your pearls are precious, organic gems born from the sea. Unlike harder stones, they are soft and porous, requiring gentle care to protect their beautiful lustre for generations.
The Golden Rule: Last On, First Off
Pearls should be the last thing you put on after applying all cosmetics, perfumes, lotions, or hairspray. They should also be the first thing you take off at the end of the day. The chemicals in beauty products can be harmful to their nacre (their iridescent outer layer).
After Each Wear
After you take them off, gently wipe your pearls with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. This simple step removes any traces of body oils or chemicals that can settle on their surface and dull their shine.
Safe Storage
Pearls need to "breathe" but should also be protected from scratches.
- Do: Store them separately in a fabric-lined pouch or a soft-cloth-lined jewellery box.
- Don't: Store them in an airtight plastic bag, as this can dry them out.
- Don't: Store them jumbled with other jewellery. Hard gemstones (like diamonds) and metal clasps can easily scratch their delicate surface.
Avoid Water and Sweat
Never wear your pearl jewellery while showering, bathing, swimming, or in a sauna or steam room.
- Water can weaken the silk thread on which necklaces and bracelets are strung.
- Chlorine, salt, and even soap can damage the pearls themselves.
- Sweat is acidic; always wipe your pearls clean after wearing them, especially if worn during warm weather or exercise.
Professional Re-stringing
If your necklace or bracelet is worn frequently, the silk thread will naturally stretch and weaken over time. To keep your heirloom secure, we recommend having your pearls professionally re-strung every few years, or as soon as you notice any gapping between the pearls.
With a little mindful care, your pearls will remain a timeless and radiant part of your collection.
