The Journey of Life Jewelry

The jewelry you wear may hold beautiful stories and be a witness to the journey of a life and a love, and a testimony about how that life and love grew. It can also serve as a promise of more beautiful days to come.

There are different designs of this type of jewelry. There is the 'S' shaped one where the smallest stone is at the top and the stones get gradually larger as it gets to the bottom symbolizing a love that is growing. There is also the 'heart' shaped one representing the love that goes along with the journey and there is also one with a circular design symbolizing the perpetual nature of the growing love.

And what about the graduating increase in size of the stones? No one stays the same in a long journey, especially if it is a lifelong one. Things change through time and experience. Journey of Life Jewelry does not just represent the bond between people, it celebrates the growth of their love. The gradual increase in the sizes of the stones symbolizes that with every step one takes, love grows, intensifying and becoming more meaningful as time passes. It may symbolize the growing intensity of love between lovers, wife and husband, mother and daughter, or even just friends. It serves as a reminder of how love has grown, and as an assurance as to how it'll keep on growing.

The first time I came across the Journey of Life Jewelry, I was a little confused about how a row of gemstones can represent a life's journey. I then noticed that the stones graduate in size. After a little more study, meanings started appearing.

Life is but a journey, they say. The famous Brazilian writer, Paulo Coelho, highlighting the importance of the sense of journey, once said that journey is the best way to learn. His international bestseller, The Alchemist, is about a boy who ventures in a personal Ulysses-like journey of exploration and self discovery, going after his own dream. The same can be said of James Joyce's Ulysses, which presented life as a journey. The framework of Joyce's extraordinary book in turn is taken from one of the greatest work in world literature, the Odyssey, written by the Greek poet Homer. In this grand ancient Greek epic poem too, the poet presented the journey of life as a heroic adventure.
