Nova Silver May

Nova Silver

In this unusual moment with so much time to think, we can look more closely at what means the most to us.

Over the last few months, rainbows, the symbol of peace and serenity, have taken on a new meaning of hope. It has been a pleasure to see rainbows appearing in household windows bringing us all joy on our daily exercise and reassurance to those living on their own that they are truly not alone.

At Nova Silver, we always consider the symbolism in the jewellery we make and the attachments made to both the design and materials used. If you have ever popped in store you will already know that we love working with a range of fantastic stones. As well as being beautiful, stones all have their own special meanings and properties.

One of my personal favourites is Rainbow Moonstone, which as well as being a fabulous stone to wear, is believed to deflect negativity and calm bad dreams. Blue Topaz is a particularly special stone for residents of Norwich being UNESCO City of Literature. It is perfect for authors and poets alike and is known as the writer’s stone.

A jewellery design can give equal importance with feathers representing freedom, inspiration and spirit. Feathers have featured in jewellery for generations and are frequently seen in Native American jewellery design. The Bee has been used as a symbol dating back to biblical times representing positive attitudes in multiple scriptures. Historically, the worker bee has become a symbol of the work ethic portrayed in design and architecture in Manchester and more recently a symbol of Unity and defiance after the terrible attack in 2017. Our classic honey bee range has been one of the most popular designs over the years and is as popular today as it always was.

Take a few moments to think about symbolism and meaning when purchasing a gift for a loved one. Receiving a gift with meaning will bring comfort to the recipient in these difficult times. A few pounds spent for a gift from a small business, of which there are many in Norwich Lanes, can ensure that there is the wealth of shops to visit when life gets back to normal.
