Description: |
Persephone was the daughter of
Demeter and Zeus. Before she became Queen of the Underworld,
she helped her mother plant seeds and flowers among the
lands of Magna Grecia. When Hades fell in love with
Persephone, he brought her to the underworld. Demeter was so
distraught that she would allow nothing to grow (Winter) but
Persephone was allowed to visit at a certain period of the
year and Demeter allowed things to grow once again (Spring).
This necklace was inspired by the ancient necklaces of
Greece. The original necklaces were made of gold rosettes
and pods from various plants. Using peyote stitch and a
variation of the Nepal stitch, we will make various
components to represent rosettes, pods and grapes to put
together our own version of these wonderful necklaces.
