_____

PATH OF LIFE: The unique design of our PATH OF LIFE charm represents strength and knowledge. The secret symbol, the infinity, lies at its center. The knotted design is intended to demonstrate that we are all connected. This symbol is a pleasant reminder that you are not alone, that those in your life are with you through it all, even if they are not by your side physically. A beautiful symbol that can be relatable for many, this charm adds something special to your arm candy stack. 

Evil Eye: Inspired by the traditional nazar amulet, which means 'vision' in Arabic, the symbol of the eye stares back at the world. An unblinking emblem of strength, the protective eye symbolizes the divine, watchful gaze that cannot be deceived, seeing only truth. Empowered with peace and protection, you know all is well.

Hand of Fatima
: This ancient symbol is believed to ward off evil - and, with an eye, its secret symbol, in the center of the palm, it deflects the gaze of the evil eye. The charm is also a strong symbol of femininity, sometimes known as “the woman’s holy hand.” Use this talisman to guard yourself against negative energy.

Lotus Peace Petals: Representing the progression of the soul as it emerges from darkness, this charm implies harmony and resilience from within. The lotus flower blossoms beneath the surface, like many of us who work quietly to achieve our dreams before sharing our glory with the world. But the deeper, secret symbol here is the Om, lying inside for creation, oneness, and truth. You are at one with your personal goals and successes. Life is yours to explore and in which to bloom.

Tree of Life: This magnificent tree represents our continuous growth into who we’re meant to be. With roots planted in the ground and branches stretching upward, it symbolizes remaining grounded while evolving and changing for the better. The secret symbol, a group of three birds perched on its branches, signify Founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer, Carolyn Rafaelian’s, daughters — Alex, Ani, and Alivia.
