The Legacy of Talisman Jewelry

Talisman jewelry has a long and fascinating history dating back to ancient civilizations. In many cultures, talismans were believed to hold special powers and were worn for protection, good luck, or to bring about specific desires. I mean, seriously — say no more! But I digress…

The use of talismans can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where they were often made from amulets or other decorative objects. These talismans were believed to possess magical powers and were worn to protect against evil spirits or to bring good luck.

Talismans were also popular in ancient Greek and Roman cultures. In Greek mythology, talismans were often associated with the gods and were believed to have the power to bring good fortune. The Romans also used talismans, often in the form of coins or other small objects, which they carried with them for good luck. Sidenote, I’ve always felt a natural gravitation to Greek and Roman culture, also I married a Greek guy and, fun fact, I am learning to speak Greek. (You can too, Duolingo!)

Throughout history, talismans have taken many different forms. They have been made from a variety of materials including precious stones, metals, and wood, and have been worn in many different ways. Some people wear talismans around their neck, while others carry them in their pockets or hang them in their homes.

In modern times, talisman jewelry has become a popular way to incorporate the belief in the powers of these special objects into everyday life. Many people wear talisman jewelry as a reminder of their personal beliefs or as a way to stay connected to their cultural heritage.

Despite the fact that the use of talismans may be seen as superstitious by some, the significance of these special objects has endured for centuries. Whether for protection, good luck, or personal empowerment, talismans continue to hold a special place in many cultures and are a powerful reminder of identity and heritage.

Which brings me to why we refer to Gold and Smoke as talisman jewelry. The symbolism and significance to attaching meaning to objects and the storytelling that results is not a mere undertone to what we are creating, it’s the reason or shall I say, the purpose. Our why IS the symbolism that presents the talisman. It’s the physical reminder that believing in yourself, your strength your courage, your tenacity, your gifts, your beauty and all you have to offer to the world is ethereal. You are pure magic, miraculous and untouchable, but real. And that, my friends, is why YOU ARE BULLETPROOF.
