TETHIS Jewels Collection

Tethis Jewels Collection: the nymphs’ inspiration is still alive.

In Greek mythology,  Thetis is a Nereid (sea nymph), daughter of Nereus and Doris. She is the mother of the hero Achilles.

The Nereids are marine nymphs,  all daughters of the marine god Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. There are fifty of them and they form the procession of Poseidon; associated particularly with the Aegean Sea, they reside with their father in the depths of a silver cave.

They are represented as beautiful young girls with hair entwined with pearls, carried on dolphins or seahorses, and holding in their hands sometimes a trident, sometimes a crown or a victory, sometimes a coral branch. Sometimes they are represented as mermaids, half-women and half-fish.

They are benefactors, protect the brides who come to dive in their source, inspire humans and heal them of their ills. Lovers of the gods, but generally mere mortals living for thousands of years, the carefree nymphs sing in the places they occupy. From their union with mortals came the heroes, the demigods.

2nd century AD, statue in marble from Paros, 2.11m high, discovered in 1764 in Civita Lavinia, Italy.
