ZODIAC JEWELRY COLLECTION: WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?

SYMBOLS OF THE ZODIAC

Since our earliest years, we hold the power of symbolism in high esteem. Whether it’s the beauty of a precious gem, or something more arcane, there is something precious about a symbol. Zodiac jewelry is one such potent symbol. Representing our birth sign, these symbols of the zodiac hold a special place in our hearts. What makes them so unique? Let us explore!

Seers, sages, and wise men and women have identified significant meaning with certain elements. These could be precious jewels, like our birthstones, or it can be something greater. A piece of zodiac jewelry is one such example. Whether you wear it for expressing your identity, or a greater purpose, it’s an excellent way to tell your story.

For example, during the time of the Roman Empire, wearing a talisman engraved with the figures of Serapis and Isis was the custom. Serapis represents time and Isis represents Earth. Engraving a person’s zodiac sign on other amulets was also popular. Many different stones were used, and more expensive stones indicated a higher class for the wearer. For believers, these zodiac necklaces offer protection to the wearer.

ZODIAC SIGN NECKLACE

Zodiac jewelry takes many forms, but the most popular are zodiac necklaces. Often, these are a direct depiction of the star sign. However, they may also incorporate an associated birthstone.

Some may also feature engravings that reference the sign in question. A popular choice with gold zodiac jewelry are pendants that feature an inscription of the astrological sign, or some other motif that lends a nod to the constellation.

In fact, there is evidence showing that the image carved is more important than the material. Kunz wrote in The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, “The figures engraved on precious stones were supposed to have a greater or lesser degree of efficacy in themselves independent of the virtues peculiar to the stone on which they were engraved.”

“Certain images, those symbolizing the zodiacal signs for instance, were looked upon as possessing such power that their peculiar nature impressed itself even upon stones inherently of different quality.”

By the Middle Ages, the idea that deep power rooted itself in jewelry meant that zodiac necklaces and other objects were highly coveted.
