One of a Kind
Reimagined Components: A true spirit totem. All brass-toned components composed of an upcycled triangle necklace component, an all-seeing eye, two arrows, and a brass bar upcycled from a different vintage necklace at center to instill balance and strength. A colorful array of symbolism despite its unified color pallet. This totem hangs from 19'' of brass boxcar style chain.
Components Found in: Manhattan Beach CA & Schaumburg IL
~Triangle~
The strongest weight-bearing geometric shape, any weight placed on a triangle is evenly distributed amongst all sides, making it an incredibly potent symbol of strength. It has also been said to be a channeling point for energy when in the form of a pyramid.
~Eyes~
The eyes are commonly referred to as a window to the soul and are as unique to their owner as a fingerprint. From a biological standpoint, the eye’s sensory organ evolved to interpret the way light is absorbed or reflected off an object. The eye is arguably the most ubiquitous of symbols representing powerful states of being and abilities. Examples are clairvoyance, omniscience and guardianship. Looking someone in the eye is also a strong western symbol of honesty.
~Arrow~
An arrow knows where it will land the moment it is let loose. Once the archer releases, there is no second chance. At birth we all begin a journey with our inner arrow guiding the way, so follow your arrow, feel the wind in your hair & enjoy the ride!
After each artifact or specimen has been discovered it is sent through a careful restoration process before being used in a design. If a particularly unique patina is found to add design value to an artifact, it's preserved & sealed to ensure its longevity & protection.
