I see the straight lines as an structed and dreary person, stuck in one place, who blossoms up as an person who travels the world, getting aknowledge of herself, loving the life she lives.
I see the 4 rooms of my heart and in each of them a memory of the love I have for my husband and daughters, the bands that run from room to room to tie us together but the individuality of each in the solid circles at the compass points that shows that we may travel the world over but in our heart always be together.
Hearts intertwined, snowflakes, and smoke swirls. From snow and ashes – reverence for the past and the hope of new beginnings.

It reminds me of nature. A circle of life that is balanced and held together by the 4 round balls that is respective of Earth, Water Fire and Air. The curves in the design is representative of waves of ocean breaking upon cliffs. Between the waves, along the edge is representative of growth of the earth – trees, reaching out and up to the sky… the middle is representative of fire – the energy that is strong and can engulf all things, and the balls at each of the 4 corners represent air – as all the energy of water, fire and earth are all centered by them. At the same time, the 4 balls represent air, earth, fire and water, all the elements depicted in the beautiful pendant. This is the first time I’ve seen your jewelry. It is very very beautiful!!
