Distinctive jewelry with Labradorite.

7 x 6 cm

The pentagram, as one of the oldest symbols, appeared 4000 years BC. At that time, it did not yet have the magical and protective meaning it has today; people used it as a symbol of Venus and balance. The symbolism of the number 5 in the number of points of the star exceeds the symbolism of the number 4, which denotes the basic elements. The fifth element in the pentagram is cosmic energy - life. Each point also represents a period of life - birth, maturation, adulthood, aging, death. We use the classic pentagram with the point up for protection and working with positive energy. We can also come across it during initiation and liberation from material things. In general, the pentagram represents spirituality, protection and positive power.

Labradorite is a mineral from the feldspar group. Its typical and valued shine is caused by interference and reflection on submicroscopic lamellae. Another name for Labradorite is Spectrolite. Spectrolite was first described in 1896 in the book Edelsteinkunde (Science of Gemstones) by Dr. Max Bauer. However, it received its name from the Finnish professor Aarne Laitakari because of its rainbow shine in the full color spectrum. Labradorite is a highly mystical and protective stone, it brings light into life, is a stone of esoteric knowledge, initiates into mysterious mysteries, supports the development of intuition, brings new ideas, removes negative energies attacking the aura, suppresses fear, insecurity, remnants of old disappointments and from past lives, strengthens self-belief, calms an overactive mind, breaks illusions and penetrates to the roots of thinking, evokes suppressed memories of the past, brings strength and perseverance, is a stone of transformation and helps us in times of great change.

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 clothes, the wearer's skin, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn all the time, 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.
