Antique 20K Yellow Gold Iris Over River Styx Magic Water Cameo Brooch
About the Item
Circa Late 19th Century. This antique brooch showcases a masterfully carved cameo depicting Iris, the messenger goddess, carrying the water of the River Styx to Olympus for the Achilles Heel. The scene is set against a warm background, framed by a refined yellow gold bezel.
In Greek mythology, Iris is the goddess who personifies the rainbow and acts as a messenger between the gods and humanity. She is often depicted with her wings and a colorful, radiant presence. The Rive Styx in Greek mythology forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld. Souls must cross it to enter the afterlife. It’s known for its dark and ominous qualities, sometimes associated with the idea of a curse or oath. Magic Water can refer to water with mystical or transformative properties. In mythology, water is often linked to purity, life, or the power to heal or curse.
