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.

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 anthropologist in me often conflicts with my design self. Or perhaps, they give each other balance, guidance and purpose. Most of my jewelry collections are rife with historical tales and profound symbolic references and meanings. My latest collection was, in short, inspired by ancient treasures and mystical stories revolving around kings, queens and gods. It is entitled “Frankincense & Myrrh” glorified earthy elements, fit for unworldly gods. Also, according to biblical accounts, these elements were two treasured gifts that the magi brought Jesus upon his birth.

It was the magi, who after learning of an ancient prophesy of a newborn king, or God in human form, embark on an arduous journey across the desert sands with only the guidance of a star known as the star of Bethlehem (or the God star), to meet the king and honor him with the most sacred of all gifts. Gifts that were fit for a god; frankincense, myrrh and gold.

This biblical story of the magi captivates me inordinately, and it ties in with this time of year, as it pretty much, dominates many holiday decorations all of December. The scene that dominates most prolifically of course, is the nativity scene, where the newborn Jesus is surrounded by his folks Mary and Joseph, sometimes a shepherd or two, and the magi, bearing their notorious gifts.

See what perpetuated from my take on the mysterious, beautiful and spectacular story of the magi; my “magi” and “wisdom wand” pieces- Katrina Kelly Jewelry
