7 Layers of Love® Charm Collection:: eternal keepsakes of heartfelt sentiment I created an alluring collection that reflects love’s aesthetic, spiritual and poetic beauty and expresses the profound nature of love. I’ve taken inspirations from a wide variety of cultures and combines stunning design elements—including the classic romance of Italian and Turkish artistic traditions—to present all facets of love in this unique collection. After the popularity of my 7 Layers of Love® Rings, I added the charms. They are wearable symbols and powerful reminders of the sentiments. Celebrating love in all its forms, including the gift of friendship, the bonds of family, and the thrill of romance, each charm is an expression of the wearer’s deepest feelings and most heartfelt sentiments. The 7 Layers of Love® charms are 7 timeless allegories that embrace love’s supreme influence and express the bonds of friendship and family, the importance of self-love, and the incomparable delight of romance. LOVE:: Pure, true love is an emotion that can’t be scientifically explained, yet it’s presence powerfully shapes reality. The Love Charm’s visually striking design features open spaces which signify the many ways in which the heart is open to sharing and receiving love in all its forms. 7 Layers of Love® , trademarked by Katrina Kelly  Our Most-Loved and Best-Sellers from 2011 at Katrina Kelly Jewelry Our 2011 Most-Loved & Sold Jewelry at Katrina Kelly Jewelry Best-Sellers from 2011- Katrina Kelly Jewelry-The 7 Layers of Love® rings, charms & Wisdom Wand TM Pendants  Leave a comment  18k gold, 7 Layers of Love® Collection by KK, Bridal Jewelry, Couture Collection, Diamonds, Gemstones, Katrina Kelly, Necklaces, Platinum, Rings, Wedding Rings  best selling jewelry, engagement, katrina kelly stack rings, love rings, stacking rings, top-sellers, valentines rings, wisdom jewelry Just as the magi carefully chose symbolic gifts to bestow, I’ve selected gemstones rich in meaning for my Magi and Wisdom stack rings earrings, necklaces and bracelets. The gorgeous gemstones, colored sapphires, white and colored diamonds, and emeralds—are all believed to have magic powers of their own. I can’t help but believe in something magical and symbolic…so I use a glittering array of small, striking stones to make a grand visual impact, and to provide the wearer with, beauty, mysterious power and wisdom. Sapphires come in a rainbow of spectacular colors, and are said to open up the heart to greater awareness. The Buddhists believe that the sapphire is a symbol for spiritual enlightenment, and the ancient Greeks wore sapphires to assist them in seeing the future. I like to imagine that these mystifying gems bring clarity and understanding. These days, diamonds are considered “a girl’s best friend,” yet these gems aren’t just about glitz and glamour; for centuries, diamonds have been worn to grant strength and courage. In fact, the word “diamond” comes from the Greek, meaning “unconquerable, hardest steeland indestructible.” Of course, diamonds glitter in engagement rings as a symbol for love and fidelity. I like to think of them as bringing strength, too. Emeralds (one of my favs) have adorned women for ages, bestowing dazzle and symbolic power. In ancient Egypt, it is said that Isis wore a green emerald in her headpiece that could grant fertility. The green of this gem is also said to bring good luck in money and business (pretty, pretty please), some Kelly Green Luck is welcomed… Some also use emeralds to heal the heart (it is also said that the emerald is most powerful during a full moon). The colorful glitter of gemstones and the prisms of diamonds in my jewelry will surely be responsible for bringing good fortune to the wearer. Who doesn’t need a little bit of enlightenment, strength, and good luck? Magic is in us, and all around us, after all… The Power of Gemstones by Katrina Kelly Jewlery

Many thousands of years later,she is still remembered as a famous rulers.This was a woman who knew what she wanted and would do anything to get it: she even smuggled herself inside a carpet into Caesar’s palace. She was a charming beauty who still captivates the imagination. Her “look” is all about stunning exotic beauty and timeless seduction.

Marie Antoinette: The Queen of France took the throne at the age of fourteen and grew up in a world where her every whim was satisfied. She had to outshine every other woman in her court, and her enormous,spectacular wardrobe set fashion trends. She was a trendsetter who insisted on nothing less than the best.

Queen of Sheba: The Biblical monarch of an ancient kingdom (Saba?) is said to have heard of King Solomon’s wisdom and traveled to meet him with great gifts of gold, jewels, and spices. Once she met him, she tested him with questions, matching his wisdom with her wit. This powerful woman is remembered for her great wealth, and her beauty is enhanced by the richness of gold and riches and a possible heir.
My new collection entitled “Frankincense & Myrrh-anoint yourself in gold” led me towards a sort of inquisition on the history of these prized elements, their origins and associations. So fresh on my mind is not just gold for my jewelry, but its history, allure AND its current price! Since the dawn of dawn, the allure of gold has captured…well, everyone…The bright dazzle of this precious metal has symbolized everything from power and wealth to purity and perfection, as well as love, hope, and happiness—and even the sun. In ancient Egypt, rulers like King Tutankhamun were buried with thousands of objects made of pure gold; for a king who was believed to be the living representation of the god of the sun, only gold could represent his power. Thousands of years later, the French ruler Louis XIV gilded furniture and the interior of the Palace of Versailles in gold to communicate his might as “the sun king.” Gold is so valuable and respected that it is one of the rare objects that is saved and passed down through the generations as art, investments, cherished heirlooms, and gifts of love, divinity & devotion. One of the most renowned stories of giving gold as a gift of honor to another is the mystical story of the Magi, also known as the 3 wise men, the 3 kings and the 3 astrologers (the jury is still out on the actual number of Magi). In the Bible, the three Magi journeyed far, far and away to visit baby Jesus and present him with the most valued of gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This is the story that inspired my latest collection. Thus it is my grand gesture of honor, to these sacred gifts, accounts, rich and magnificent stories that paved the way to so many almighty ideologies and traditions, old and new.
