This pendant is one of a series of unique works I created depicting variations of the Flower of Life pattern.
I handcut this sterling silver and copper Flower of Life pattern using a tiny sawblade, and riveted it together with sterling silver rivets.
The Flower of Life is an ancient geometrical design based around the circle.
It contains ancient, theological value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time. In this sense, it is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, and it is believed to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living things
In sacred geometry the circle represents the sphere in 2 dimensions. It is the most universal symbol known to man and the ultimate representation of the unity and inseparability of all things. The Flower of Life pattern uses Pi to create the perfect balancing of spheres with sixfold symmetry. The centre of each circle is on the circumference of the six surrounding circles of the same diameter.
This pendant is 3.5cm in diameter, with a 45cm oxidised sterling silver chain.
It can be worn either way around, with the silver facing forwards (as shown in the first photo) or with the copper facing forwards(as shown in the second photo)
Every piece I create is handmade by me in my workshop by the beach in Wellington, New Zealand. Hand cut metal, riveted and polished, each piece is lovingly handcrafted, making every piece a unique work of art.

It looks more like the seed of life to me???
ReplyDeleteHi ancient-symbols,
DeleteYes it is indeed the Seed of Life! However, the series of jewellery this is from, was based on both the Seed of Life and the full Flower of Life pattern, with some pendants combining the two patterns. As the Flower of Life contains the Seed of Life in its centre, I have decided to call the whole series Flower of Life pendants.
I hope that makes sense :)
Blessings, Jean Burgers
