What if, through the many symbols of our world's peoples, we found common hopes, beliefs, ideologies and virtues? What if, through the paths of many, we found the truth of One? Known worldwide for their ingenuity, artistry and superior craftsmanship, Jendayi Collection specializes in symbolic, culturally inspired wedding rings and fine jewelry.
The Language of Symbols Symbols tell stories, now and then they tell history, they always “tell” meaning. Often emblems for concepts and beliefs, a symbol is something that represents something else. Consider ancient civilizations symbols for the sun. Not only did their symbols depict the physical star, but it spoke of all the Sun’s worth to the their individual cultures. Symbols have the unique ability to focus the attention, and heighten an intention. Along with imagination they can help you reach a goal or more fully realize a concept. Consider the Peace Symbol widely used in the 1960’s. Use and create them in love and wisdom.
Clients can design their rings with symbols/designs that are significant to them. Some of the most requested symbols are certain Adinkra symbols.
