Aphrodite was gorgeous, perfect,eternally young woman with a beautiful body.

Yes, but those are qualities, not symbols.

Aphrodite's symbols are the scallop shell, the dolphin, doves, lovebirds, swans, golden apples, pomegranates and roses.

I think the scallop shell and dolphin shows that she was born in the ocean from the foam. (One of the myths of her birth.)

The doves, lovebirds,swans,and roses show her power, love.

I suppose the golden apple is for her winning that apple thing against Hera and something. T.T; I forgot, it's one of the myths though.

The pomegranates for Hades giving the pomegranate to Persaphone which banished her to the underworld.
