This is my first time expressing myself via jewelry design. It is such a joy to bring these pieces to the world. Two much older symbols combine to inform the spirit of my logo and maker's mark featured here in these limited edition silver pendants...
"Nkyinkyim is an Akan word that literally means “twisting.” It is a symbol for the tortuous nature of life's journey and, also, the toughness, versatility, and dynamism required to thrive in it. Willis notes that it is also a symbol of dedication to service."
The Rising Sun, a symbol associated with new beginnings, a new era and nod to the wisdom of the East.
Suizen or Blowing Zen, a daily reminder of the sacredness of the breath of life.
... It is my intention that wearers of this pendant be daily encouraged on their own deeply personal journey of Self Discovery. The path to mastery is long and winding. I imagine these pieces as talismans of encouragement for my students or any fellow travelers.
