Elements

At the heart of life

Bees are known for being hard workers and spreading life on earth, one act at a time. With this piece of jewelry, we want you to imagine yourself as a bee spreading happiness and love around you, without expecting anything in return. Spreading love every day, with gestures large or small, without keeping score, is to feel alive, to celebrate life. There’s nothing more beautiful!

“Love is like a plant: you have to feed it and it will grow.”  – Chow Ching Lie

Awakening

This beetle carries a real green beetle shell on its back. Green is the colour of hope, and the beetle has been a symbol of luck and protection since the dawn of time. The Awakening Beetle acts as a guide, encouraging us to listen to our instincts and awaken to what life brings us, so we may follow our path.

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Facing change and behaving as a free spirit in the presence of fate is an invincible strength.” – Helen Keller

Following our path

Following our own path, trusting our instincts, listening to the signs. Like a snake, I let myself be guided by the beating of my heart.

“The difficulty, in our time, lies in leaving behind what does not exist here in order to recover elsewhere, in the mind, a little of what does exist.”  – Pierre Vadeboncoeur

Light

A tiny firefly with a mother-of-pearl heart, this piece of jewelry represents the light that shines within us, urging us to choose it and never let it fade.

When we let this magic shine, we light up those who need it, we pay tribute to life, to this precious time we have been given on earth.

“A smile costs less than electricity, but gives as much light.” – Abbé Pierre

Mirror

I bear the thorns/I embrace my femininity

I protect myself/I wear my confidence

I slither, I slide/I connect with the earth

Camouflage/I’m alive

“The whole journey of life is to move from ignorance to knowledge, from darkness to light, from the unfinished to the fulfilled, from unconsciousness to consciousness, from fear to love.” – Frédéric Lenoir

Rebirth

The Elements collection was born during an indigenous ceremony celebrating SCARO’s 20th anniversary at my home. There was a spiritual energy rooted in the earth. That evening, I was given an eagle feather, and together with my guests, 80 people in all, we performed the snake dance. As if to signify that the energy had understood, the snake showed me the way by leaving its skin behind as a message during its passage through my life.

The synchronicity of the elements gave me a gift, one of transformation and change. Instinctively, I knew it was time for me to leave certain things behind in order to move forward.

The signs were there.

Since that day, I feel reborn, I recognize who I am.

And I’m proud of who I’m becoming.

“What the caterpillar calls the end, the butterfly calls the beginning.” – Violette Lebon

Soul of a warrior

This piece of jewelry tells the story of a woman who trusts her sixth sense, without always fully understanding how it works. She imagines this sense, her instinct, as little ears quivering above her. With the strength of a beetle and her warrior instinct, she knows she can do anything and go wherever she wants if she follows her heart and that famous sixth sense that guides her toward her destiny.

“Walk like a warrior, observe like an eagle, listen with your intuition, speak with your soul, love with your heart, and you shall feel the Universe.”            – Unknown author

Symbiosis

Whether it’s heads or tails, it’s always a winning side with this double-sided piece of jewelry that symbolizes – with the beetle and the snake or the flower and the bird – the power of the elements. They support us in our daily lives to remind us that each side of a coin is different but beautiful, just like each of us.

“When the duality within us subsides, the world becomes a better place, for we are the mirror of the world.” – Yasmine Bassalah

To love

The rose, a symbol of love, is an expression of tenderness toward oneself, a gift we wear to remind us of the importance of putting love into everything we do.

“There is only one joy in this world, and that is love; everything else is nothing.” – George Sand

Transformation

In life, humans are constantly evolving, always on the move. In this highly sculptural piece of jewelry, each flower, insect or animal represented symbolizes a facet of life and our personality. Each of these facets has shaped our lives and made us who we are today or who we aspire to be. The Transformation bracelet calls on us to be at peace with our past and to live fully in the present.

“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.” – Chinese proverb
