Jewelry is not just a nice souvenir. These are accessories that the recipient will wear almost every day. Therefore, the jewelry must “fit” into the image: and in terms of both design and symbolism. 

In terms of symbolism, jewelry turns into a real talisman, which will help to tell about your feelings, emphasize confidence and inner strength, to attract good luck and love. That’s why it’s very important to choose the right accessory design. 

The jewelry catalog is incredibly extensive. In it, we can distinguish four main directions of symbolism: 

  • Traditional forms; 
  • Plant decor; 
  • Animal decor; 
  • Geometry. 

Consider each of these areas in more detail. 

Traditional symbols and forms of jewelry, and also their meaning

Classic symbols are used not only in jewelry. They can be found everywhere. This is why their meaning is fairly standard and can be recognized intuitively, without dictionaries or explanations. For example:

  1. The Heart. The classic symbol of romantic feelings – tenderness, love, affection and passion. It is used in almost all jewelry and always looks appropriate. Rings, earrings, pendants with a heart will tell your feelings brighter than any words. 
  2. The Symbol of Infinity. Has a deep meaning that tells of eternal feelings – friendship and love. Ordinarily, jewelry decorated with the symbol of infinity, is given to the closest people. 
  3. The Key. A philosophical symbol whose meaning is self-discovery and success. Such jewelry is often used as a talisman against bad luck or careless deeds. 
  4. The Drop. Another philosophy-filled symbol that emphasizes the uniqueness of each person in the ocean of life. 
  5. The Cross. Crucifixion is a Christian symbol, so you need to present it with special care. And an ordinary cross is simply a decorative element that has no sacred or profound meaning. 
  6. The Sign of the Zodiac. Such jewelry helps to reveal and emphasize the strengths of character, which is inherent in the sign. 

Another common symbol is the first letter of the first or last name. Such jewelry is full of self-confidence and helps to maximize the personal qualities of the owner. 

Plant motifs

Plant decor is one of the most popular directions in jewelry design. Natural motifs look sophisticated and elegant, lush and beautiful. However, they are filled not only with visual beauty, but also with symbolism: 

  1. The Flowers. Each plant has its own symbolism. The rose represents love and passion, the lotus represents purity of thought and intentions, the orchid represents femininity, the violet represents modesty, the tulip represents self-confidence and pride, and the forget-me-not represents memory. If the jewelry consists of several flowers – it is a symbol of vitality. 
  2. The Tree. Family amulet, which symbolizes harmony, fertility, and the desire to give new life. 
  3. The Leaves. As with flowers, each plant has its own symbolism: clover attracts good luck, maple – self-confidence and success, and oak will emphasize male power. 

In some jewelry, there is no single motif, such as bouquet brooches. The symbolism of such accessories is simple – they emphasize vitality, revival, and spring.

Animal motifs

Animalistic motifs in jewelry are the most “powerful” in terms of their symbolism. In many cultures, accessories with images of animals not only emphasize the personal qualities of the owner, but also serve as a real talisman or amulet. The most common ornaments with the following symbols: 

  1. The Cat. This animal will protect you from bad luck and evil eyes. Symbolizes femininity, love, and home comfort. 
  2. The Dog. A loyal, brave and fair animal will emphasize the same personal qualities of the owner. 
  3. The Butterfly. Gracefulness and serenity are the main meanings of this symbol. And jewelry with a pair of butterflies will be a beautiful wish for family happiness for the newlyweds. 
  4. The Snake. One of the important symbols of feminine grace and beauty in many Eastern cultures. The snake jewelry emphasizes wisdom and incredible intuition. 
  5. The Dolphin. One of the main symbols of loyalty. That’s why jewelry with a dolphin is often given to loved ones. In addition, this animal symbolizes a sharp mind. 
  6. The Frog. A talisman that can give you health – if you wear it correctly, close to your heart. In addition, a frog is a symbol of home comfort and diligence. 
  7. The Fish. Another very important female symbol, whose meanings include abundance, restraint, and fecundity. 

Jewelry with birds has a wide range of symbolism. A dove means gentleness and love; an owl means wisdom; a swallow means purposefulness. The most popular of all are swans, which are the symbolism of faithfulness and loyalty. 

Geometry

Clear lines are not only an important design element of the most concise and stylish jewelry. Each figure has its own symbolism:

  1. The Circle. A symbol of eternity, because it has neither beginning nor end. The circle is given as a sign of endless love and loyalty. However, this symbol is also dynamic – it emphasizes constant development and forward movement. 
  2. The Rhombus. Jewelry with this symbol is an ideal gift for self-confident people who have a strong character. The rhombus has many meanings, but the main ones are prosperity and financial well-being. 
  3. The Square. One of the most harmonious symbols, among whose meanings are stability and constancy. Such jewelry is usually presented to honest and straightforward people. 

There are many meanings of the triangle symbol, from philosophical to sacred. But almost always they demonstrate unity and harmony: past, present and future; body, mind and soul… Besides, an inverted triangle is one of the main symbols of female origin, and an equilateral triangle is a talisman-protector.
