The Signs are clear!

Symbolism is something all around us, but how often do we look into the meaning of these symbols or the history of their origin. There have been so many ancient symbols retained and commonly used today. Symbols have power and it is this inspiration that was the driving force behind the Signs Collection.

Bringing the meaning and energy of symbolism combined with the power of semi precious stones, this collection is here to help guide and facilitate the wearer. From wanting to attract wealth, repel negative energy, be open to change or to ease a frantic mind, the 4 sets of pendants and earrings of the Signs Collection are here to help.

The outside shape of these pieces were inspired by the forms of door ways and arch ways. Passing through a door of a spiritual building is said to cleanse someone of the past and let them move towards a brighter future. I really liked this idea and how it not only drew from my love of Architecture but also embodied the overall theme of creating an energetic shift.

PROTECTION

This piece was the driving force of the collection. As someone who has had a hard time being around too many people all at once, I wanted a pendant that was easy to wear and layer that was going to repel all those negative energies and keep me grounded when out in the world. The Eye of Horus was the perfect companion symbol for it, as well as a Black Tourmaline stone.

Delve into the meaning behind each element to bring more Protection into your life.

Eye of Horus – Known also as the Wadjet, this magical symbol is believed to provide protection, health, and rejuvenation. Due to its powerful protective powers, the Eye of Horus was popularly used by the ancient Egyptians, both the living and the dead, as amulets. Even today, the Eye of Horus continues to be used as a symbol of protection.

Black Tourmaline – Black Tourmaline is a protective stone which repels and blocks negative energies and psychic attack. Black Tourmaline also aids in the removal of negative energies within a person or a space. Black Tourmaline will cleanse, purify, and transform dense energy into a lighter vibration.

ABUNDANCE

As a small business owner, i have always been looking for ways to bring more abundance my way as income in this line of work can be so sporadic. So i wanted to bring that energy of the Citrine stone (which i always have in the money corner of my studio) to a piece you can carry with you. I found i was drawn to the Hamsa before i had any idea about its meaning. Once i read its history, i really resonated with it and found it was a great pair with Citrine to embody the energy of abundance.

Read a little more about each element to bring more abundance, wealth and happiness your way.

Hamsa – The Hamsa symbol also represents the hand of God, is believed to promote health, happiness, good luck and fortune. There is also the ancient belief that wearing a Hamsa symbol will intercept negative or evil energy. If negative or evil thoughts are projected at you, the Hamsa symbol will ward off the evil energy and protect you from negative energy or even harm.

Citrine – Citrine energises every level of life.. It cleanses the chakras and opens the intuition.  Citrine attracts wealth, prosperity and success.

Bring more wealth to your life with the Abundance Earrings and Pendant

CALM

This piece is one that was very familiar to me as I have been working with Amazonite stones for a little while now and love wearing its calming energy. I wanted to enhance this energy through its pairing with the Lotus Flower to really embody the feeling of being in a mindful or meditative state. With so many of us rushing from one thing to the next (myself included), it was essential to find that reminder of stillness and coming back to centre.

Lotus – The meaning of the lotus flower symbol is derived from the flower’s life cycle, where all humans are born into a world of suffering where they must learn to overcome difficult times so that they can become a better person and reach spiritual enlightenment. A common symbol used in yoga and meditation to represent calm of mind.

Amazonite – This stone is also referred to as a Stone of Truth and Stone of Courage, as well as creating a calming energy. Amazonite is empowering, facilitating self-discovery, self-awareness and the ability to embrace one’s own integrity and truths.

Bring more tranquility into your life with the Calm Earrings and Pendant

TRANSFORMATION

This piece was one that just fell into place. Something that most people can find quite scary. I being Scorpio embrace the changes that happen in our lives as a guide to a better place. Sometimes change is hard and we need to be reminded that from those dark places, there is light and there is so much to look forward to. This piece embodies that positive energy of transforming. Whether its your mindset or your situation, something big or small, these little releases can guide you to some amazing things.

Scarab Beetle – Egyptian religion the scarab was also a symbol of immortality, resurrection, transformation and protection much used in funerary art.

Labradorite – A stone of transformation, Labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance.  It balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness and grounds spiritual energies. 

Bring positive change into your life with the Transformation Earrings and Pendant.

I hope you all have been as inspired by symbols as i have in the exploration of this collection. We would love to hear from you! What are some of your favourite symbols and why. Reach out on our socails or via the comments box.
