Forever close to my heart
This is a very beautiful piece of jewelry! Since finding out that a majority of my DNA comes from Ghana and Nigeria I wanted to support the artist there. I also wanted a piece of a place I’ve never been to in an effort to feel connected to my roots while also remembering the meaning behind the Sankofa. I absolutely love this finely crafted piece of jewelry and i wear it close to my heart.
I bought this because of the Balinese Carnelian
Carnelian is a stone of creativity, individuality, and courage. It has protection energies. It can aid memory, including recall of past lives. It can assist one in finding the right mate. It is also a stone of protection in general and from anger, jealousy, and fear. But the setting, by Buana, is so artistically beautiful, and detailed - that I had to have this carnelian, in this setting, for my very own. I hope that it becomes a family piece, that lasts for generations!
