Asian Tiger's Eye

Bracelet

Magnetism and its healing powers have been fascinating mankind since ancient times: For example the Mayas used so-called "slate mirrors" made of magnetic hematite or magnetite for medical treatments and even the Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra is reported to have worn a magnetite on her forehead to ease her migraine. Also the Roman natural scientist Pliny the Elder (23-79 A.D.) reports that the Greek and Romans used magnetites for their medicine and since centuries the Chinese have been applying this stone to positively influence the life force Qi. Even the well-known medieval physician Paracelsus (1493-1541) described the effects of magnetism in his writings. This ancient knowledge remained unused for a long time until some decades ago magnetic field therapy has been used again as part of alternative medicine, with the aim to increase physical well-being and to stimulate recreation and stress relaxation.
This bracelet is threaded on elastic band thus fitting every wrist - it displays an Asian design which is dominated by the interesting gloss of the brown glass stones showing a cateye effect. The so-called tiger's eye is a very popular gemstone in India because it is believed to hold off the evil eye and so this piece of jewelry combines the magnetic powers of the hematite with the Indian flair of the glass stones used.

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.

Since jewelry is such a diverse cultural asset the meaning of a given piece can depend on the point of view and beliefs of its creator. For example many cultures developed pieces of jewelry showing to others whether its wearer is married or single: In our Western world these are the wedding rings while in African countries e.g. special bracelets or necklaces are worn for this purpose. Whether we are talking about weddings jewelry or talismans and amulets that were used for protection - often the decorations and materials determine the symbolic meaning of a piece of jewelry.

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.
