SunM⚭nRain presents a limited collection of bracelets & necklaces inspired by Shabnam's recent trip in Peru featuring spiral charms (diameter 1.3cm) in sterling silver & inlaid abalone shell combined with metallic black grounding stone hematite faceted 4mm beads. Size 17cm. 

This charm represents Pachamama or Mother Earth. The feminine life force.

The spiral represents the journey of Life & it is a symbol of a spiritual journey.

It is considered to represent the evolutionary process of learning & growing.

Life as we know it doesn't proceed in a straight line. The path of life more closely resemble a spiral. We seem to pass the same point over & over again but from a different perspective each time.

To walk & stand in the center of a spiral or labyrinth is considered a psycho-spiritual exercise for centering the consciousness.

The spiral stands for coming into our being.

This charm is also to remind us to be mindful, respectful & appreciative of the gifts Mother Nature bestows upon us & to not take her for granted.

Abalone - Abalone Shell is a colorful shell that incorporates the beautiful colors of the Sea. It has it’s own Metaphysical and Healing properties, even though it is not of the “Crystalline Family.” Like other sources of vibrational healing from Nature, Abalone Shells have a strong elemental bond with the Earth and it’s healing capabilities. Abalone is closely connected to that of the Water element and the vibrations of Love, Beauty, Gentleness, Caring, Compassion and Peace.

Abalone Shell has been used in jewelry making and religious spiritual ceremonies for countless ages. It is also known as “the Sea Ears” because of it’s flattened, oval shape with iridescent interior. It was used by Native Northwest American Indians for cleansing, offerings and prayers. This Abalone was found off the coasts of South America, but it is also found in Japan and China.

On an intuitive level, Abalone helps to stimulate psychic development and intuition while promoting the power of imagination. It has a soothing vibration that can help calm emotions during deep healing and will emotionally support the growth of Self.

Physically, Abalone can heal the body within the Chakras but resonates most with the Third Eye, Heart and Solar Plexus Chakras. Within Third Eye Chakra, it will stimulate psychic intuition. Within the Heart Chakra it will help to gently clear and release emotions of fear, sorrow or any other negative feelings held. Within the Solar Plexus, it will use the power of Nature to re-instill the Power of Self.

Hematite - A stone of the mind, it grounds & protects us. Stimulates concentration & focus, enhances memory & original thought. Strengthens our connection with the earth, bringing security & safety. Endows courage, endurance & vitality.
