Shri Yantra

Pendant

According to old belief amulets and talismans are tools to trigger changes in life. In order to achieve this talismans transfer positive powers while amulets grant protection by absorbing negative energies.
In the center of this meditation pattern a highly complex arrangement of nine superimposed triangles can be found. Five of them are pointing downwards standing for the elements of water and earth the other four are pointing upwards and symbolize the elements of fire and air. Furthermore the inner pattern of this pendant is surrounded by an eight- and a sixteen-leaved Lotus Flower like a jewel, which according to Indian tradition elevates and converts the energies of the Yantra. So the Shri Yantra contains all the elements building up the universe thus incorporating the entire creation. According to Indian teachings it symbolizes the divine power which caused the formation and evolution of the universe and our world. Thereby this amulet attracts wealth, wisdom, peace and luck and at the same time protects against negative energies, dangers and illnesses.
The crusaders brought knowledge in craftsmanship, engineering and science from China, India, Arabia and Egypt to Europe. Among other things medieval knights of the 16th century therefore carried this Indian amulet as a fortune charm on their belts - they therefore used this pendant not only as jewelry but also as an aid to achieve changes in their lives.

This pendant is made of brass and copper. The brass, a copper zinc alloy, is responsible for the yellow golden parts of this piece of jewelry and the copper for the red golden ones. With the exception of gold copper is the only colored metal and just like silver and gold it is classified as a precious metal. Due to its softness and malleableness copper is particularly suitable for the jewelry production.

A main focus of our jewelry collections are magic symbols which are made according to historical artwork. Although a lot of people (like us) appreciate the beauty of the different designs and used materials, only few think about the deeper symbolism of these pieces of jewelry. In our modern world we see so a many different beautiful and decorative items that we usually only enjoy their beauty without considering the deeper meaning or the origin of the used motives and without knowing for what reason these items were formerly used. In our online shop we want to give answers to these questions by offering accurate background knowledge and additional information about every piece of jewelry in our collection.

Jewelry always had various functions which changed during the course of time: Because of the precious materials that were often used for its design it often was a valuable asset and sometime was even used as a currency. But especially in ancient cultures the spiritual meaning of a piece of jewelry was always important and the different motifs were symbols for the affiliation of its wearer to and his status in a social group. Furthermore jewelry can also serve a practical purpose like this is the case with safety pins, belt buckles and brooches.

On account of these many different purposes the meaning of single pieces of jewelry can be very different and depends on the belief and the point of view of the respective manufacturer. In some cultures, e.g., bracelets were used as wedding jewelry, like the wedding rings of today, in other societies necklaces served the same purpose. The symbolic meaning of a piece of jewelry often cannot only be found in the piece itself, but also in its decorations or the used materials. In some cultures it is usual to give pieces of jewelry as a gift at certain important times in life which should emphasize the symbolic meaning of these events with the help of their decorations. These pieces were then often worn as amulets or talismans and were believed to protect and support its wearer during this new situation in life.

Besides the various symbols and designs different cultures use for their pieces of jewelry also a variety of materials are deployed in jewelry production. At the beginning of mankind primarily pearls made of wood and bones and shells were crafted to pendants, since these rather soft materials could easily be processed and were readily available. Later on especially precious metals like gold and silver and various gems were used for valuable jewelry. Today the selection of materials available for the production of jewelry is especially large and various.
