Ravenna

Jewelry with Labradorite and raven's claw.

7.5 x 2 cm

Labradorite is a mineral from the feldspar group that is formed during the slow cooling of magma deep in the earth's crust. At first glance, it may seem like an inconspicuous stone of gray and dark shades, but at the right angle of light it reveals its unique labradorescence - flashes of blue, green, gold or purple hidden inside the crystal. This natural optical phenomenon is created by the refraction of light on the fine structures of the mineral and makes each stone unique.

In the esoteric tradition, labradorite is considered a stone of intuition, protection and inner transformation. It is associated with the ability to perceive hidden connections, develop imagination and trust one's own inner voice. It is attributed with a protective power that helps maintain energy and balance during times of change. It is a symbol of discovering one's own potential and reminds us that even in darker moments, a person can discover their inner light.

In the mythologies of Northern Europe and Celtic traditions, the raven is seen as a symbol of wisdom, mystery and deep knowledge. It is associated with the boundary between the known and unknown worlds, with intuition and the ability to see what remains hidden. The raven's claw represents strength, protection and a firm grip on what has real value. It is a symbol of determination, courage and the ability to follow one's own path even when it is not clearly visible.

The combination of labradorite and raven's claw creates a piece of jewelry with a strong symbolism of mystery, protection and inner strength. The changing flashes of labradorite resemble the hidden light hidden beneath the surface, while the raven's claw symbolizes vigilance, wisdom and the ability to protect what is most valuable. Together they form a whole that can be a talisman for those who seek the courage to listen to their own intuition, accept life's changes and discover the strength hidden within themselves.

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 clothes, the wearer's skin, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly, even in water, but it is good to dry it afterwards and treat it more often. The jewelry is hung on a braided, cotton cord and secured with an enlargement knot.
