DON'T TOUCH MY GRI-GRI !
What's your gri-gri? It's my lucky charm, the girls say...
In all civilizations the need to protect oneself from bad energies has been at the heart of the subject. The wizards in Africa made amulets, a kind of small sculpted statues that were worn as jewellery or displayed in the home. The purpose was to protect ourselves and those we love. Precious and semi-precious stones, the fruit of the cosmic energy of the earth, have been for all peoples transformed into ornaments that it was necessary to wear according to the virtues attributed to them. In this approach, the jewel no longer has a purely aesthetic function, embellishing a person, but becomes a utilitarian object providing the protection we seek. The power of stones is infinite, malachite strengthens our relationship with others and opens the heart chakras, tiger's eye protects against bad spells, amazonite gives courage, lapis lazuli stimulates creativity... as many colors of stones as protective virtues... At Zag we love protective jewellery which, as soon as it is set with a stone, carries a special meaning. If our designer loves stones, she also likes to develop jewellery with messages and engraves on medals words that make you feel good like "happiness", "protection", "luck", "confidence", "positive energy"...
The runic signs, straight out of Viking tales and legends, are also a magical universe that we like to make discover to those who love and wear our brand. Used by the Vikings as divinatory and protective jacks, they are hand-painted on hand-glazed ceramics and signify courage, strength, protection, wealth, health and love. Talismans are the focus of our jewellery collections. We advise you to choose it carefully, to offer it with kindness, not to lend it, to pamper it and when it is left on our bedside table, it carries within it the energy of our body but also all our dreams.
