From the treasure chest ...

As a recent gift and addition to my personal treasure chest, I wanted to share with all of you a beautiful piece I received for my birthday this year. It is an Amphitrite cameo brooch. As you all know, in Greek mythology she was Queen of the Sea, the wife of Poseidon, and daughter to Doris and Nereus.

I really love this portrait ...
Neptune and Amphitrite by Jacob de Gheyn II (latter 16th-century)




Two cool (and very cheap and inexpensive) Dragon necklaces I found on the WISH site last week ...

I used a bronze chain for this pendant.


The Dragon necklace is a bit big, but with the right attire, I think it could compliment pretty nicely!
