Proserpine cuff

It is said that one day in June, Proserpine, the beautiful daughter of Jupiter and the goddess of the Earth, while picking flowers in a Sicilian meadow, was kidnapped by Pluto, god of the underworld, who wanted to make her his wife. When her mother Demeter learned that her daughter would spend the rest of her life in the underworld, she was desperate and ran to Jupiter for help, but he did nothing, even trying to encourage the union of her daughter who would become queen. Demeter, in pain, decided to stop caring about the Earth. At that time, Jupiter, worried about the creatures’ death, convinced Pluto to let Proserpine return for at least six months each year. Legend tells that when the queen returns to Earth, the poppies bloom with their red color, reminding the goddess of the groom’s passion that awaits her in the underworld.
