Venus Choker
Inspired by Edward Burne-Jones’ enchanting painting of Maria Zambaco as Venus Epithalamia (Venus of Marriage), this choker captures the essence of beauty and significance in the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
The centerpiece of this exquisite piece is a hand-painted oil on wood pendant, showcasing the ethereal grace of Venus. Adorned with a striking large barrel-shaped Lapis Lazuli, the pendant reflects the complexities of love and desire, echoing the scandalous nature of the painting itself. Created as a wedding gift, it symbolizes the bittersweet reality of marriage, as both Venus and Maria found themselves unfulfilled in their unions, with Burne-Jones himself harboring unrequited feelings for Maria. This choker not only reflects the allure of its muse but also serves as a timeless statement piece that celebrates the intricate interplay of romance and artistry.
