The symbolism of the pomegranate fruit in Persian culture adds a special meaning to these earrings, as they represent fertility, abundance, and prosperity.
Symbol of death and fertility. Alongside death, the pomegranate symbolized fertility in Ancient Greece and Rome. It had a strong association to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, as well as Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage and childbirth.
For the amazing jewels that lie within, the pomegranate has been held sacred by many of the world's major religions. It is a symbol of abundance and new beginnings, fruitfulness, knowledge, learning and wisdom.
Pomegranate seeds are said to number 613—one for each of the Bible's 613 commandments. The pomegranate was revered for the beauty of its shrub, flowers, and fruit—symbolizing sanctity, fertility, and abundance. The Song of Solomon compares the cheeks of a bride behind her veil to the two halves of a pomegranate.
The abduction of Persephone is an etiological myth providing an explanation for the changing of the seasons. Since Persephone had consumed pomegranate seeds in the underworld, she was forced to spend four months, or in other versions six months for six seeds, with Hades.

Vintage Signed BiG 30" necklace - Pomegranate pendant - ladybug accent - statement necklace Gypsy Handmade - couture jewelry - judaica gift.
This gorgeous necklace is made in Istanbul and has such beautiful meaning behind it. The designer wanted to make her Jewish guests feel welcome this season and to celebrate Chrismukkah (Christmas and Hanukkah combined). so she used real pomegranates and pomegranate sculptures as the centerpiece of her rustic table in her London home. Pomegranates are cross-cultural symbols of prosperity, and in some parts of the world, serve as thoughtful housewarming gifts, bringing abundance and fertility to the home. This gorgeous necklace features a handsome pomegranate with the addition of an equally wonderful ladybug, (seen also as a positive omen that attracts guests to the home). With dyed-jade seeds and a masterfully hand-crafted design, you will truly feel blessed wearing this alluring piece. It is so much prettier in person and the love behind this can only enhance the gift. The necklace is plated with 24kt gold over brass.
