We love to use the term ‘ageless jewellery’, for our jewellery is ageless and timeless, as when seen through the eyes of love, beauty never fades, but there is also a practical reality to how old the piece of jewellery actually is.
When jewellery is described, part of the description entails what era, period or age the jewellery is from.
The age of our jewellery ranges from nearly new to nearly the time of Christ, so you should be able to find something here to suit your tastes and interests … and you may find something that resonates with you because it comes from a particular time … perhaps a time you may have vibrational resonance with as your body remembers living through that period.
We are made of particles that have been present since before the beginning of time, and whilst our bodies live and die, those particles live on and come together to form other bodies in other times, so in one sense, we never die and our bodies are made of literal stardust, formed over and over and over again into living beings.
