"This secessionist owl pendant / brooch is such a unique find! The jeweller crafted it to feature two garnets for eyes which stand out beautifully against the silver backing. It is wonderfully detailed and uses several different techniques to exhibit all of the different textures of the owl. Owls are a symbol of luck and wisdom, the ancient Chinese philosophy also regards the Owl as a powerful totem to attract prosperity and abundance."

What does my gemstone mean?
Garnet
Garnets symbolise love and friendship. With the colour associations to the human heart, red or pink garnets have long been considered to be the great symbol of love and are believed to have properties that aid in the healing of broken bonds of love. The green variety of garnets occur in a hue that is reminiscent of nature, it is because of this that they have connotations that relate to the rejuvenation life force or vitality and human growth.
