Enamelled Pendant

Mandala means circle, it offers balancing visual elements, symbolizing unity and harmony. Mandalas are usually used as a form of meditation, but they all have different meanings so you need to know the meaning of it before using it. My b-tech journey is a continuation from my 3rd year work where I made this enamelled pendant inspired by the mandala. Mandala are made from repetition of patterns and colour. The colours have different: Yellow- for learning, wisdom, laughter and happiness

                                                                Blue- for emotional healing, inner peace and meditation

I feel like these two pictures are a good example of the above explanation and circle have been working very well with my designs as well as the patterns taken from isishweshwe. My jewellery pieces are not only a reminder of ones faith but also it symbolizes unity, that you can take different aspects from different fields and put them together to create beautiful and meaningful jewellery.
