*Harry Potter spoiler alerts*
As you may have picked up, I love reading, and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is one of my favorites! In light of July 31st being Harry’s birthday, I was thinking of the Horcruxes that were pivotal to the story. I began to look at them in a different way when I considered that two of the Horcruxes are jewelry!
What is a Horcrux?
As a reminder, a Horcrux is what an evil wizard creates in order to keep himself from death.
To create a Horcrux, an evil wizard must commit murder to split their soul apart, so that even if he or she is killed, they never are gone because they have pieces of their soul housed in objects that keep them tethered to this world.
Which is why Voldemort never died when his curse back fired when trying to kill the one-year old Harry Potter.
Voldemort did the unthinkable and created 7 Horcruxes with his first being created when he was 16!
Horcruxes and Jewelry
Every Horcrux Voldemort created, meant something to him, and it is interesting that two of his Horcruxes were jewelry: his grandfather’s ring and Salazar Slytherine’s locket, who was his ancestor.
Since he was raised in an orphanage, he didn’t find out that he was from an important wizard family line, the Slytherine’s on his mother’s side, till he was 16. The family connection he felt and had yearned for as a child, was twisted for revenge and immortality in his sociopathic mind upon finding those two family jewelry pieces.
Jewelry is connection embodied in a physical state, and even for evil wizards, jewelry always means something more.
Fiction vs Reality
Of course, the Horcruxes and characters I am talking about are just works of fiction created by the author J.K. Rowling, but they do illustrate how powerful the connection of jewelry is.
Whether we were gifted a piece of jewelry, or we chose a piece of jewelry, it connects us to ourselves and/or someone else.
That connection can last generations as jewelry is passed down, it can be the subtle, daily connection of your commitment and love to your spouse, and it can be a connection of an important celebration that you are proud of.
And, sometimes there is a connection you no longer want with someone. That is where I can help you redesign it and turn it into jewelry that represents a new chapter in your life!
