Charms, talisman, amulets and symbolic pendants date back to the beginning of adornment’s history and have been a way to wear your beliefs, hopes and dreams close to your heart, turn away evil and bring love, luck, guidance and protection into your life.
The eye is one of the most powerful symbols in many cultures. When I was a child my mother gave my sister and me an ‘Eye of Horus’ charm necklace from the King Tut exhibit in Seattle – at that age we were exchanging colds all year long! The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health. Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern sailors would frequently paint the symbol on the bow of their vessel to ensure safe sea travel. In many cultures the eye represents spiritual vision and knowledge. Considered the window to the soul, in Hinduism and Buddhism the ‘third eye’ is referred to as the spiritual eye or the intuitive eye and is a symbol of enlightenment.

About Ark Collection
I am fascinated with myths and folk stories that recount heroic adventures and strive to express the mystery and complexity of the human experience.
The Ark Collection is based on timeless silhouettes from legend, mythology and folklore that tell eternal stories of virtue and compassion, love and loss, progress and nostalgia – stories of hope and strength that tie us to a greater purpose and remind us that every person is uniquely powerful. Expressing big ideas, aspirations, and values, through deeply rooted symbolism, Ark combines ornament with storytelling.
Hand fabricated, formed and decorated, each unique piece is designed from the finest materials. No two pieces are exactly alike!
