Avalon

A distinctive piece of jewelry with Amethyst.

5 x 4 cm

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz that forms in the cavities of volcanic rocks during the slow crystallization of mineral-rich solutions. Its characteristic color is caused by trace amounts of iron and the effect of natural radiation over millions of years. In the esoteric tradition, amethyst is considered a stone of harmony, inner peace and spiritual wisdom. It is associated with quieting the mind, intuition and the ability to look at life with a greater perspective. It supports concentration, patience and inner balance.

The Avalon motif, formed by interconnected circles, symbolizes unity, connection and the endless cycle of life. Since ancient times, the circle has been a sign of wholeness, protection and eternity, while their mutual interweaving reminds us that everything in nature and in human life is interconnected. The motif is also known from the hatch above the healing spring in Glastonbury, which is associated with the legends of Avalon - a place surrounded by stories of healing, transformation and spiritual renewal.

The construction of the jewelry is handmade from surgical steel and the connecting material is an alloy of tin and silver. The jewelry is then treated similarly to silver - we polish it once in a while. The more the jewelry is worn, the better, it polishes itself on the clothes, the skin of the wearer, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly and in water, but then it is good to dry it and treat it more often. The jewelry is hung on a braided, cotton cord and secured with an enlargement knot.
