Clockwise Spiral - Plant-Based Ivory Bracelet

Meaning: 

The spiral in Celtic culture is an ancient symbol representing expansion, growth, and development.

In its multiple meanings, the spiral represents the universe and infinity, the sun and its movement, and, most importantly, the path to follow in the search for oneself.

The spiral itself is a symbol of life continuing, forwards and backwards, a symbol of energy.

The Sacred Spiral represents the dance of divine energy. Drawn deosil (clockwise), the Sacred Spiral attracts energy towards us; drawn widdershins (counter-clockwise), it drives negative energies away from us.

The Sacred Spiral also symbolizes the inner journey.

Adjustable black waxed leather cord with a sliding knot, natural beads.

Material: 

Corozo, or "Vegetable Ivory" or "Tagua", is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant "Phytelephas macrocarpa", commonly known as the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).

The plant, similar to a coconut palm, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).

Each plant produces 8-10 inflorescences per year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid which, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and transforms into a white material very similar to animal ivory.

After drying, corozo nuts are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a washer with regular dimensions.

The original color, from optical white to antiqued ivory, should be considered "the natural" par excellence.

Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary grain, very similar to that of root wood.
