The Silver 925 and 999: Traditionally viewed as distinguished. Representing that which is innovative, refined, graceful, elegant and sophisticated.
Thought to be a mirror to the soul, helping us to see ourselves as others do. Silver has a bright and clear appearance and therefore represents qualities such as purity, clarity, and vision. It also symbolises subtle strength.
The Copper: Chosen for its beauty and complimentary warm tones. Representing the Goddess of Love. Associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the Roman goddess Venus.
Based on its lustrous beauty, its ancient use in producing mirrors, and its association with Cyprus, which was sacred to Aphrodite. In alchemy, the symbol for copper was also the symbol for the planet Venus. Named among the seven metals of alchemy, representing Venus, both the planet and the Roman goddess whose functions encompassed love, beauty, fertility, prosperity and desire.
It’s said copper can help you communicate better in your relationships, with more understanding, openness and acceptance. If you're single, copper can help you find a romantic partner. If you're in a relationship, copper can help rekindle the romance.
Copper has both anti-inflamatory and antioxidant properties, which are both thought to combat joint pain and enable sufferers to move more freely as a result. Copper has been demonstrated to be an essential micro-nutrient when it comes to keeping our blood, muscles and joints healthy.
The Turquoise: genuine turquoise gemstone. Turquoise is one of the world’s most ancient gems. Native American Indians, who are incredibly in tune with nature, wear it as an amulet. Archaeological excavations revealed that the rulers of ancient Egypt adorned themselves with turquoise jewelry, and Chinese artisans were carving it more than 3,000 years ago.
Turquoise gemstone is associated with protection, luck and abundance. In many cultures, it is believed that wearing turquoise can ward off negative energies and bring good fortune
The Lapis Lazuli: Genuine Lapis Lazuli, brought to you from the mountainous wilds of Afghanistan. The name Lapis Lazuli means "blue stone." With its gorgeous blue colour, Lapis Lazuli has attracted the attention of artists for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used it to create blue cosmetics. In the Renaissance, painters ground the stone to make ultramarine, a blue pigment used for skies and seas.
Its healing properties are believed to strengthen the lungs and improve breathing capacity, promote relaxation and alleviate anxiety, calming and reducing stress levels, it is also said to enhance sleep quality, combat insomnia, and promote restful sleep.
Since the earliest of times, Lapis Lazuli has been associated with royalty, strength and courage, wisdom and intellect, friendship and truth. From antiquity, Lapis Lazuli has been worn in the belief that it will ward off evil.
The Tree of Life: Sterling silver and chosen to symbolise the beautiful and deep connection, of all that is nature in the world, in the present, days gone by and those yet to come. Bringing inner peace and acceptance.
The Tree of Life is considered the Tree of Enlightenment, otherwise known as the Bodhi Tree.
The Tree of life symbolism has a long history, crossing many cultures. While it would be overwhelming to explain its significance to each culture, the tree of life has overarching themes and meanings that span across many peoples.
The Circle: Sterling silver and textured like life itself. Chosen to represent eternal love, a reminder you can carry with you always.
