Symbolic Jewellery
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007Wearing jewellery is a symbolic act. What you choose to wear may say a lot about what you believe, what is dear or important to you, and of course your taste.
It makes sense that throughout history we have worn our symbols close to our bodies in the form of jewellery. That way we can remain connected to our personal meaning through a physical representation of what symbolises that meaning. We don’t have to leave it on our altar or on the wall at home.
My wedding ring is my most precious piece of jewellery and is of course a symbol of the wonderful bond I have my husband.
What sort of jewellery do you wear? Does it serve a purpose for you? What aspects of your personality does it represent? What or who does it connect you to?
I find by asking these questions of myself I bring some of my unconscious aspects to the surface, which gives me a better understanding of who I am.
