Symbolic Jewelry

This authentic jade symbolic jewelry piece is certainly enigmatic and contains arcane cosmological connections lost after so many centuries since such symbolism would have been cleasly understood. What can be definitely interpreted in this design are the iconic multiple heads around a oval opening in the middle of the amulet – no doubt this piece is charged with supernatural energy. The severed heads called cabezas trofeos (trophy heads), as grisly as they seem, have esoteric connections to notions of fertility. The jade cut selected for this reproduction piece is particularly attractive – a ‘liquidy’ light green tone without other mineral impurities – pure Central American jadeite.
