PERPETUAL CYCLE OF LIFE

Today, we are not looking at a specific stone and its energies.  We are focusing on the perpetual cycle of our energies.

This set was created to remind us of our cycles of life and how each of us is intertwined together to create the whole.  The rings represent the perpetual cycle.  As energy we are never ending.  Birth is not a beginning.  We existed long before we took are first breath just as death is not the end.  Birth and death are but changes in the form of our energy.

The pendant and earrings are finished off with simple seed beads of black and grey.  Throughout our cycles, we are forever planting seeds.
