Vintage Sterling Silver Cherub Charm/Pendant-
This sweet charm/pendant would be a great addition to any charm bracelet for Valentines day or just because. The little cherub on front is well detailed and even has little wings. The back could be engraved with a small sentiment if you wanted. The Cupids (which are also known as cherubs) are iconic angelic childlike beings that traditionally are known as symbols of romantic love. Cupids are motifs commonly used in Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo European art. When used as a putto, the reference was to Aphrodite, Greek mythology, and romantic love. Cupid is a mythological being that is associated with romantic love. He is the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Eros. His parentage is somewhat up for debate, but traditionally, he is depicted as the son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Depending upon the version of the Cupid story you read, his father was either Mars, the Roman god of war or Mercury, the messenger of the Roman gods.
Originally, Cupid was depicted as a young man. Over time, his image has been changed.. During the time of the Renaissance, the depiction of Cupid became that of a male baby or toddler. He became chubbier and younger. He is depicted with wings and a bow with arrows. The change in Cupid’s appearance can be attributed to the way artists like Raphael depicted him in their artwork.
