‘Ceres’

What better way to mark the safe arrival of a new addition to the family than with a Ceres talisman?

There is none. I said what I said.

You’ve grown a whole human and birthed it. That’s no mean feat. And quite right to mark it with a meaningful talismanic and unique jewellery gift.

Ceres is the Roman goddess of maternal nurture, familial bonds, fertility, agriculture and the harvest.

She begets and bestows bounty.

Did you know, fact fans, that the word cereal is a derivation from Ceres?

And now I want a bowl of coco pops dammit.

Ceres’ Greek counterpart is Demeter. Again, for the fact fans

Ceres is often depicted as a mature woman, sometimes crowned with wheat stalks or wearing flowing draperies, and sometimes seated in a chariot drawn by winged dragons.

Symbols associated with Ceres included a sickle, torches, wheat sheaves, a crown of wheatstalks, and a cornucopia.
