Historical Origins of Sacred Jewellery<\/h2><\/div>

They are part of a long tradition and a rich history through various eras.<\/p>\n

Antiquity<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The ancient Egyptians used them as amulets and funerary jewellery to accompany the deceased in the afterlife. Necklaces and bracelets were often placed in tombs as symbols of protection and spiritual support.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Victorian era<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Mourning jewellery became particularly popular in England in the 19th century, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Jewellery, brooches, and rings containing hair or ashes of the deceased were commonly worn as a sign of mourning and remembrance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Middle Ages<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Reliquaries, precious containers intended to hold sacred relics, were often worn as jewellery. They contained fragments of bodies of saints or objects associated with them serving as symbols of faith and devotion.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Asian cultures<\/span>
\n<\/strong>In many Asian traditions, memorial beads made from the ashes of the deceased are worn to honour and remember loved ones. Rosaries and other spiritual jewellery are also common, used in prayer and meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n

These pieces, whether intended for remembrance, protection, or healing, has always played an important role in helping people connect to something larger than themselves, whether through memory of the deceased, spiritual devotion or the search for personal healing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Remembrance Jewelry<\/h2><\/div>

Memorial jewellery, funerary or cinerary, are special pieces created to honour the memory of a loved one who has passed away. Here are some ways to make these jewellery:<\/p>\n

Incorporation of organic elements<\/b>
\nUse of ashes, hair of the deceased or even horse hair. These often braided pieces could represent landscapes or portraits.<\/p>\n

Hollow jewellery
\n<\/b><\/span>A small amount of ashes can be embedded in a hollow piece of jewellery, such as a mini urn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commemorative diamonds<\/b>
\nTransformation of the deceased's ashes into a diamond, a modern method of keeping a part of your loved one with you.<\/p>\n

Personalisation
\n<\/b>Many memorial jewellery items can be personalised with engravings, dates or initials to add an even more intimate and meaningful touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A connection to the divine<\/h2><\/div>

The essence of sacred jewellery lies in the connection to the divine. They can allow you to express a religious or spiritual affiliation.<\/p>\n

Symbolic forms
\n<\/b>Crosses, wheels, knots, calligraphy, etc.<\/p>\n

Stones
\n<\/b>Used as vectors of spiritual connection, like rosaries.<\/p>\n

Worn daily as a constant reminder of faith or spirituality or offered during important rituals such as baptisms, communions, bar mitzvas, taken to the grave. Some may require purification or blessing rituals before wearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Healing and Protection jewellery<\/h2><\/div>

They symbolise the connection to oneself and mark important passages in life. Touching them, wearing them or looking at them can remind you of your journey to healing and help ground you.<\/p>\n

Supportive jewellery<\/b>
\nWorn during a healing process to offer comfort and strength.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Protective jewellery
\n<\/b>Used the energy of a stone, a symbol, or the combination of both, to offer protection. For example, amethyst for serenity, turquoise for protection.<\/p>\n

These pieces can range from extreme simplicity to elaborate complexity. They serve as talismans, gris-gris, good luck charms or amulets, engraved with significant words or symbols.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
