Hero
Hero
A High Priestess of Aphrodite, the Ancient Greek Goddess of love, Hero was as beautiful as she was dutiful. She resided with Aphrodite in a tower in Sestos on the banks of a lagoon of the straights of the Hellespont.
On the far side of the lagoon she was admired by the young handsome Leander. He became so besotted with Hero that he decided to swim across the lagoon one night to meet with her. After their first meeting they fell in love and Hero would light a lamp every night in her tower to guide Leander to find her in the dark.
These gold or sterling silver earrings adorned with two coloured cabochon spinels epitomises the love and romance of secret trysts by the side of the lagoon.
