Unlocking the Power of Symbols through a Pendant

The beauty of custom jewelry lies in creating a piece that speaks directly to you. For our client, Brian, this meant integrating three powerful symbols—the Yin Yang, the Peace Symbol, and the Celtic knot from King Crimson’s “Discipline” album—each representing a different facet of his beliefs. These universally recognized icons hold deeply personal meanings, symbolizing harmony, peace, and the pursuit of discipline. Brian sought to meld these symbols into a singular pendant, creating a wearable testament to his philosophy and aspirations as a gift to himself on his birthday.

Brian’s Vision: Symbolic Expression

When Brian first approached us, he had a clear vision of what he wanted his pendant to symbolize. Each icon he chose—a Yin Yang for harmony, a Peace Symbol for tranquility, and a Celtic knot for discipline—represented important facets of his life. Our mission was to blend these powerful symbols into a unified design that was both aesthetically pleasing and deeply meaningful.

The Jewelry Journey: When Three Become One

Exploring various design options, we settled on a rounded-edge triangle to showcase the Yin Yang, the Peace Symbol, and the Celtic knot. This geometric form provided a visually striking canvas that allowed each symbol to shine individually while contributing to a cohesive overall design.

Active Collaboration: Brian’s Involvement

Brian remained actively involved throughout the entire process. From initial sketches to photorealistic renders, and finally to the wax model ready for casting, Brian provided invaluable feedback. This collaboration ensured the final piece would meet his vision perfectly.

Brian and his new pendant

“It’s a beautiful piece of work and matches up completely with what you described all along the way. It’s very sturdy, the silver shines and the chain allows the pendant to fall at exactly the right level! I cannot wait to show my friends and to tell them about my experience with your company! I was also very impressed with the packaging and your note to me. Thanks so much for all of that! Thanks again, and count me among your biggest fans!”
