As a woman of age and experience, I have journeyed through life with a particular fondness for symbolism and artistry. Recently, I discovered Buddha and Karma’s collection of Dragon and Phoenix jewelry, and it has left a delightful impression on me.
The first piece I acquired was their Natural Black Obsidian Dragon Necklace. The dragon, a revered symbol in Chinese mythology, is known for its immense power over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. It is a symbol of luck, success, and wealth, and wearing this beautiful necklace felt like inviting these attributes into my own life. The pendant, made of natural black obsidian, is touted to protect against negative energies, an assurance that I find comforting in my twilight years. The necklace itself is a pleasant length, and the black obsidian dragon is expertly embossed on the pendant, giving it a commanding yet elegant presence.
The Dragon symbolizes luck, success, wealth, and protection against negative energies. The jewelry piece is made from natural black obsidian, a volcanic glass known for its protective qualities. It is worn as a feng shui charm for protection and good luck. In Chinese mythology, dragons possess immense power and control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. They are revered for their strength, and it’s believed that wearing their symbol can bring good fortune.
As for the Phoenix, it is a bird in folklore that is cyclically regenerated and reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. In this sense, Phoenix jewelry often symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and starting anew, which could mirror significant life changes or new beginnings in your life.
Each time I wear these pieces, I am reminded of the dragon and phoenix’s significance in folklore and how they mirror my own life journey. Just like the resilient phoenix that rises from its ashes, I have navigated life’s challenges with grace and fortitude. And akin to the dragon’s power and influence, I have nurtured a successful family that I am immensely proud of.
In sum, Buddha and Karma’s collection has not only provided me with beautiful accessories to adorn but also a spiritual connection that enhances my sense of self. As I wear these pieces, I feel imbued with the strength of the dragon and the resilience of the phoenix, reinforcing my identity as a woman of strength and wisdom.
