Winter Hexagon in Purple

Bracelet, wide

Magnetism and its healing powers have been fascinating mankind since ancient times: The well-known medieval physician Paracelsus (1493-1541) described the effects of magnetism in his writings. And also the Roman natural scientist Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) 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. Finally even the Mayas used so-called "slate mirrors" made of magnetic hematite or magnetite for medical treatments and the Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra is reported to have worn a magnetite on her forehead to ease her migraine. 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.
68 magnetic hematite beads were used for the bracelet "Winter Hexagon in Purple" in order to create a visually attractive and at the same time effective piece of jewelry - the bracelet is threaded on elastic band thus fitting every wrist. The visual appearance of this piece has been inspired by glistening snowflakes and because of the use of high quality glass stones in the color of purple the bracelet displays a very special appeal.

We were always fascinated by pieces of jewelry designed according to historical artwork and magical and other old motifs are a main area of our jewelry collection until today. Nowadays we all are surrounded by designs and motifs from all over the world which we usually choose according to visual aspects without considering the original meaning and symbolism of the various depictions. For sure the beauty of the different designs and materials is a good reason for selecting them but the affinity to a special piece of jewelry or art craft can be enhanced if one knows its deeper meaning and its origin. For this reason we always placed value on the accurate representation and information explaining the various pieces 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.

Not only the used symbols and decorations differ strongly between the cultures - a huge number of different materials were also used in the course of time. In the beginnings especially shells and pearls of wood and bone were used, because these natural materials were readily available and could easily be processed. Later the precious metals silver and gold became more and more important and also the use of precious stones increased. Nowadays all possible materials are used to underline the meaning of a piece of jewelry even further thereby creating pendants and other jewelry that could not be designed using traditional materials.
