This is the 2nd pendant from "Poppies" collection.

It describes next stage of the Growth process... any kind of Growth...

The step when ffresh ideas and young plans start to turn into life. The colours of this pendant are more calm and warm. And there are images of poppy-heads, which are symbols of wisdom, achievements, and wealth.

 

During centuries different nations use this simple, but magnificent flower as a multifaceted symbol. Its meaning can be interpreted in separate ways depending on specific circumstances. However, in most cases, it preserves its ambivalent nature, like everything in Universe. In Ukraine, poppy is considered as a traditional female decoration. It may symbolize spirit of passion, charming maidens’ beauty, freedom of choice, rapture of life, and seeds of wisdom you can collect stepping along your life path. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cloisonné enamel takes its origin from the old Byzantium times. Its biggest peak of development took place in Georgia and became the authentic crafting art known as "minankari" in original language. Cloisonné enamel technic is used for jewelries and for canonic Christian icons as well. It brings emotions and life into the cold shine of metal.
