Our Venus Pearl Collection Is Adapted From Adornments Worn By The Roman Goddess Of Love In Venus In Front Of A Mirror, A Famous Painting By Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577–1640). In The Painting, Venus Wears Nothing But A Bracelet And A Pair Of Pearl Teardrop Earrings—One Of The Earrings Is White, And The Other, Reflected In A Mirror, Appears Black.
