This three-piece ring, inspired by the fragmented form of many Aphrodite statues, pays homage to the divine femininity inherent in the goddess's body.
Just like the fragmented statues unearthed across Cyprus, Greece and beyond, each separate ring symbolizes the passage of time, and simultaneously the eternal beauty and grace of the female form.
Cast in silver and delicately crafted on the Aphrodite’s birthplace Cyprus, we celebrate the embodiment of femininity, sensuality, and strength.
Pictured is archeologist Petros Themelis, holding in his arms a just unearthed Aphrodite. He writes:
A privilege not everyone can enjoy: to be the first to triumphantly hold in one's arms a luscious “Rising Aphrodite,”.
Even if just in marble, projected into the Messianic light (like the Korē), enjoying a second life, though headless for now.
After many centuries of darkness, buried under earthly masses, which had rolled down the slopes of Ithomi. Only the dedicated archeological has this privilege…

Care
SISTER jewellery is made of 24k Gold-plated 925 Sterling Silver. Gold plating naturally wears off over time, revealing the silver beneath. Avoid contact with fragrances, lotions, rough surfaces and cleaning agents, especially chlorine as it can permanently damage or discolour your jewellery. Make sure your skin is dry before putting on your jewellery. Always remove your gold plated jewellery in the shower, when swimming or exercising and store it in a dry and air-tight place. Clean it gently with a soft cloth only and avoid rubbing. Unlike mass produced jewellery,handmade pieces will almost always have imperfections and each piece will never be identical to another. This uniqueness is part of the beauty of handmade jewellery.
More than 10.000 customers wear Sister jewelry
Each piece has a unique story behind it and is crafted by hand in a family-owned workshop

Sister jewellery draws inspiration from traditional Cypriot mythological and Christian images, statues and stories. Our Jewellery is made of 925 Sterling Silver and is made using lost wax casting.
