Pretzel Necklace

La Serenidad
Handcrafted Pretzel-Inspired Heart Sphere Necklace
 
Silver:  925 sterling silver 
Gold:    18k gold plated brass
 
The pretzel dates back to 610 AD, symbolizing good luck with its crossed arms representing the traditional prayer and blessing posture. Inspired by this ancient symbol, the Pretzel was created by monasteries in the Roman Empire (Italy) to teach the correct prayer position.
 
Drawing inspiration from the pretzel, this necklace uses knotted connections to symbolize the continuity of heartfelt intentions, carrying a meaningful message. The matte, irregular texture replicates the heart sphere's imperfections, while the knotted lines add a three-dimensional layered effect in the interplay of light and shadow. This design whispers softly around your heart, enhancing the emotional connection.
