The mermaid is probably one of the best known figures in Classical mythology.

Who has not heard of the charming half fish, half human women who with their seductive voice lured the crew of ships to them.

Even before the arrival of what we now call classical mythology, it was assumed that all life came from the sea, hence the mermaids were originally sea goddesses.
Other goddesses born from the sea are Venus and Aphrodite, which means "born of the foam", namely sea foam.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote a fairytale about her, Disney produced the film and Copenhagen has a statue of her, which is Denmark's most famous tourist attraction.
The story of Christian Andersen is about a little mermaid who saves the life of a prince who has been shipwrecked. Then she does everything to keep the prince from her. The price she pays for this is high: to become a human she has to give up her beautiful voice and her mermaid tail, and if the prince marries another, she would become foam on the waves and disappear forever.

The Mermaid Earrings are loved as a variation on the goddess pendants.
