"Eternal Tear of Venus" is an ode to the goddess Venus (who symbolizes love and beauty). She is often associated with the sea. This ring has hand-carved details of sea textures and tiny barnacles with two gemstones (a heart and a pear/tear). This ring could be the tear that cleanses the soul with renewal in self-love. It may also symbolize the symbiosis in romantic love...that two people are renewed in the relationship. Tears free the heart to love more authentically....through the depths of land and sea. From heaven to earth. This piece has opulent details including milgrain around the heart setting. All Knot & Splice pieces are hand-crafted by the artist one by one, cast by lost wax casting and set traditionally by hand.

Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
