Growing up as a kid I was always very fascinated and fond of jewellery. I would go through my mum’s, grandma’s and great grandma’s jewellery boxes and play dress-up and pretend I was a princess from a land far, far away.
One of my dearest keepsakes was a tiny little silver heart necklace which I would constantly chew on until the heart was crooked from the teeth marks, but still I would not let it go. Not until I grew older and had a growth spurt which meant the chain was too short to fit me – somewhat around the same time my parents got a divorce and perhaps a symbol of that meant that the little heart was tucked away in a tiny box, away from a harsh world, that I still have to this day.
I don’t wear a lot of jewellery – I never have. Perhaps it originates back to the tiny silver heart that symbolises mine – it’s taken some beating throughout the years, but somehow it still manages to shine and carry on it’s strength.
But when I moved to Australia 6 years ago, my mum gave me her old wedding ring – it has everything that means the world to me: My dad’s name, the date of their engagement, the date of their wedding which also was the baptism of my older sister, and it’s my mum’s ring – I have the 3 very most important people in the world to me, sitting on my finger, symbolising the strength in gold and the eternity in its round shape.
On top of that ring sits my other gold ring which was gifted to me by my dad. It has 3 crystals symbolising, to me, my past, present and future.
On my right hand ring finger sits my gold ring from my best friend which has 3 infinity symbols – again representing my past, present and future.
These 3 rings mean the world to me, and they connect the people whom they represent to my heart and soul.
I was lucky enough to be gifted a choice of rings from Emma & Roe and I was drawn to another infinity ring which has 7 infinity symbols which has always been my lucky number and represents the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of Truth. The 7 is always trying to understand the underlying, hidden truths. The 7 knows that nothing is exactly as it seems and that reality is often hidden behind illusions.
The second ring I was drawn to was a beautiful Diamond Gold Ring. I have never owned a diamond and neither have I ever had a wish to receive one, however when I my eyes was searching this one jumped right at me. I started reading up about diamonds and their meanings to understand why it was suddenly speaking to me so ‘loud and clear’. What I found to be so true and by witnessing first-hand is that diamonds are crystals of Light; their high frequency energy is dispersed into flashing prisms of brilliant “fire” that typifies the sun. It is a spiritual stone, a symbol of perfection and illumination, activating the Crown and Etheric Chakras. It enhances inner vision and stimulates creativity, imagination, and ingenuity, opening the mind to the “new” and “possible.” The Diamond is also a symbol of purity and innocence, of love and fidelity, and embraces strength of character, ethics, and faithfulness to oneself and others. It is indicative of the loving and open nature with which one came into the physical realm, and encourages the aspect of truth and trust.
When I go to bed I take off my rings to give them rest, not only for their sake but also for my soul and heart. They lay by my side and soak up the moonshine shining through my sheer curtains. And now, if I ever forget to put them on a morning when I’m in a rush, I feel naked and vulnerable.
So tell me; do you have jewellery that has a certain meaning to me?
