Seeking Glass: Enamel Rosettes for Practical Focus
So named for their vintage enamel pastiche and talismanic character, these charms promote purpose, motivation, and attention to detail. Seeking Glass references many things: from the glass in the enamel color of the pendant, to the idea of a looking glass for inspection, to seeking a desired change or outcome through focus and intention... Whether you're simply a lover of botanicals or looking for a dedicated piece for your spiritual practice, these enamel pendants will bring the beauty of nature into your daily life.
Meditation and visualization offer us the opportunity to turn inward, discovering peace, reassurance, and clarity. Items such as prayer beads, worry stones, candles, and more are frequently used to help focus, generate introspection, and create the conditions for creative visualization. The Seeking Glass is no different. Each rosette design has its own symbolism and suggested practices or routines to enhance those qualities. It is completely up to each person how fully they engage with their rosettes, and there is no right or wrong way to carry them.
Botanicals have always held special symbolism and meaning throughout culture regardless of time or location. For many who share a deep connection with nature, they are a source of inspiration and spirituality.
Each Seeking Glass rosette features a plant, flower, or tree, and each has its own symbolic meaning and qualities inherent to that botanical. These enamel charms draw inspiration from the multi-faceted rosette and the same timeless spirit of the mandala. Used to focus attention, aid in meditation, or create a sacred space, the mandala has taken many forms. They represent the wholeness of the universe and the inner journey to enlightenment. When we calm our minds and attend to our lives and wellbeing we can sow the seeds for positivity and change.
Each rosette comes in a protective pull-tab box (with matching gold foil emblem on the top), and a small vial of fragrance oil. An additional component to the work is the Seeking Glass Practices booklet, which contains a collection of tiny rituals and routines for focus and intention-setting specific to each floral design. Each package is a beautiful keepsake that enhances each pendant's inherent symbolism and meaning.
The Seeking Glass pendants have been on the market for a few years now, and some designs are currently sold out. But, you can also enjoy these beautiful designs as vinyl stickers. These are perfect for decorating personal items like notebooks or laptops, but can also be used as intention-setting mandalas in journaling and magical work.
