Jewellery has always been closely related to talismans. It is a decorative way of bringing you and your loved ones luck, prosperity, good health and safety. Jewellery has also been used for centuries to promote connections, especially among families. Below is a selection of pieces that are beautiful ways to promote wealth, health and happiness.

People often find comfort in physical objects. Whether it’s the blanket from your childhood or that lucky t-shirt you wore on a happy occasion; mankind has always attributed positive forces and magical powers to inanimate objects. True or not, it is a beautiful way to find comfort and safety in an ever-stressful world.

Ancient civilisations would adorn their garments in various coloured gemstones to protect themselves from unwanted spirits or to optimise positive energies around them. Today we can see similar tendencies as people search for ‘protective’ jewellery pieces in the form of birthstones and crystals. If you are looking to add a magical piece to your jewellery box, below are three kinds of ‘protective’ jewels that are just what the doctor ordered.
