Amethyst and Copper Ojo de Dios Pendant

 

Spun from very fine colored copper wire, with genuine Czech crystal accents, this Amethyst and Copper Ojo de Dios Pendant would look fabulous with the matching Ojo de Dios Earrings. Pendant measures approx. 1.5 inches long and wide, and comes with an 18″ copper chain.  The Czech crystal accents in the center, sides, and bottom catch the light in a very subtle sparkle.

The Ojo de Dios or Eye of God is thought to have originated among the Huichol Indians of Jalisco, Mexico. As a symbol of the power of seeing and understanding unknown things, the four points represent earth, fire, air, and water. In making an Ojo, we are expressing a prayer that the eye of God will watch over us (or the person we are making it for) and grant us (them) health, fortune, and a long life. The Ojo becomes a physical representation of the prayer. Historically,when a child was born, the central eye was woven by the father, then one eye was added for every year of the child’s life until the age of five.

{July 24, 2011}   Beijing Ring (Size 8)

Beijing Ring Size 8

 

A very ancient saying describes how jade was revered culturally – “Gold has value, jade is invaluable”, and like jade, this unique BC Nephrite Jade ring has an intrinsic value in the materials used, but as a wearable piece of art, it has another value entirely.

Created to complete the Beijing series, this ring was created from an oval BC Nephrite Jade cabochon, secured in a .925 silver and 14 carat gold filled setting.  If you would like a similar ring in another size feel free to contact us, we would be more than happy to accomodate your needs.

{July 24, 2011}   Beijing Earrings

Beijing Earrings

 
Beijing is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Its art treasures and fascinating history have long made it a centre of culture and art . Jade is a stone ingrained in Chinese art, culture and history, stretching 9,000 years back into the ancient and enormous Chinese empire.
 
The second part of this Beijing series is this pair of earrings, made with the same warm 14 carat gold filled wire as the pendant, and created with the same flare at the bottom of each BC Nephrite jade earring to create a beautiful set if  purchased with the pendant. Jade stands for beauty, grace and purity, and is seen as a metaphor for human virtues because of its hardness, durability and beauty.  Little wonder this stone was and still is so highly revered.
