Astrological Jewelry from ELTIF Offers Unique Spin on Popular Signs

February 17th, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in News

With twelve signs in the traditional Western zodiac, designer Julie Lampert believes she has struck upon an idea that will suit just about anyone by offering a personal touch. Her company, ELTIF Designs, is named after her favorite expression, ‘Enjoy Life To Its Fullest’ and the designer has taken the slogan serious by creating a range of gold and silver jewelry suitable for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces, pairing the traditional symbol for each astrological birth sign with a hand design called a hamsa.

The hamsa, also called chamsa or khamsa, is an Arabic word meaning five – as in four fingers and a thumb on the human hand. Popular in North Africa and the Middle East, the palm shaped charm originated in ancient Carthage where it was known as the Hand of God and intended to ward off danger and the evil eye. In recent times, the hamsa has come of interest to those who practice Jewish mysticism based on the Kabbalah.

By combining her own descriptions of each zodiac sign, Lampert hopes to interest those who find mystical topics to be of interest. Each necklace is available in the customer’s choice of sterling silver or gold plated sterling silver and all of the necklaces in the Hamsa Collection retail for $180.

With such value out there to be had by those who take the time to really get the best deals on the kinds of jewelry that they want it is very important that people make smart choices – especially those couples who are about to tie the knot and start their lives together. The fact is, the wedding rings that a couple chooses will always be a big statement about who they are and how they see themselves and this will directly affect the way that other people see them. It is for this reason that many couples are so choosy about what they select in terms of the sort of jewelry that they want to be seen wearing. This is smart because there is almost no other thing that a couple will share, in terms of a fashion item, that will have the same level of cultural significance and affect so much of the way that the world views them in terms of being a team with shared values. For this reason alone, being careful to find the top quality ring is an absolute must for each member of the new marriage and matching those rings is definitely a smart move because it shows serious levels of unity.

Couples who take the time to pick out their wedding rings together may find that when they put the web to work they are able to discover new design ideas that they never would have come across if they only focused on their local shops and did not look into the world around them. This is why so many have come to see the web as a paradise for rings of distinct quality and offered at terrific value which says so much about those who wear them in their new life.
