Reliquaries: Wearable Jewelry for Protection and Abundance

During a recent visit to the Cleveland Museum of Art, I explored an exhibit of ancient French and English reliquaries—hollow forms imbued with positive energy and worn for protection. These beautiful pieces, handcrafted from silver and gold, were powerful necklaces that symbolized abundance and safety for the people of their time.

This deeply resonated with me, connecting to my own European heritage and aligning with the work I do today. Inspired, I created and curated a collection of powerful, meaningful reliquaries for us all.

The word reliquary comes from the French concept of a container or shrine for sacred relics, dating back to the 1500s. My passion for reliquaries and their symbolism has grown over years of global travel, long before the internet bridged cultures. Through these experiences, I observed universal symbols—crosses, hearts, and circles—transform across cultures.

Did you know? Long before Christianity, the cross symbolized endless life, cosmic harmony, and the four elements. The Celts revered it as a sun wheel, and countless cultures have added their unique meanings to this timeless shape. The heart represents love and creativity, while ovals and circles embody the infinite cycle of life. Even the tiniest hollow reliquaries carry immense power and meaning.

This collection is a tribute to that history—a blend of art, culture, and personal intention. Each one-of-a-kind reliquary is filled with energies of protection, freedom, and abundance. Whether you choose to honor yourself or gift someone else, let your intuition guide you as you select a piece that resonates deeply with your spirit.

As we step into a New Year of Transformation, these wearable reliquaries will help you hold your dreams, hopes, and intentions close to your heart. Honor your vision.
