For the ancient Egyptian civilization, paradise was AARU – fields of thick reeds, a world where one does not have to pursuit sustenance, but take it and receive it, enjoying every moment of living and each of its details.
Paradise is to let things flow freely, to discover and to develop oneself without limitations. Likewise, this jewellery collection can also expand under suitable conditions, paving the road to reminiscence of the endless diversity of the Garden of Eden.
In addition to necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings, this time the collection also includes brooches. Each can thus find their own place, their own expression, their own comfort and pleasure – their own AARU. Such enchantment is then for ever with us. It can be a song that keeps coming back into our lives. Home, the peace of our own place, a picture on the wall, a piece of jewelry we wear.
Peace
Aesthetical and comfortable embrace of the skin and body of the wearer. They remind us that if we don't focus on serenity, we might not even notice that it surrounds us.
Delight
Flood of positive emotions that warm up one's chest, stylized shape of heart, glamor of love and blessedness. If we're joyous, we do not have to worry to express ourselves. Jewels of this section can be adorned with citrine – a crystal that holds in itself the energy of sun and fire.
Freedom
Hand-made chain of infinite eights reflects a paradox – the shape articulates the limitlessness of possibilities as well as speculations about whether we can achieve the same feeling of freedom as we were enjoying in childhood.
Abundance
The riches that the paradise offers exist completely outside of traditional notions of production and consumption.
We don't have to worry about shortage or surplus of something that we need. The volume and variability of this section's jewels bears in itself the security of heavenly prosperity. Earrings, bracelet, necklace and aforementioned brooch can be symbolically adorned with emerald.
AARU is a paradise we don't have to struggle for.
