Hello lovely people,
Whenever I stand by the sea, just where the waves kiss the shore, I feel a profound sense of calm wash over me. It’s almost magical, isn’t it? Today, I want to share with you why we often feel at peace near the water and how this beautiful mystery inspires the jewellery I create.
The Calm of the Ocean
Have you noticed how just being near water can make the hustle and bustle of daily life seem to pause? There’s actually a bit of science behind this. When we’re by the water, our brains tend to enter what's called a semi-meditative state. We are alert and aware but not focused on all those ‘to-do’s’ that usually crowd our minds. This shift not only helps to lower our heart rate but also reduces our blood pressure. It's like nature's way of giving us a breather.
The sound of waves, in particular, has this rhythmic quality that really helps to soothe our nerves. It’s like listening to a lullaby crafted by the earth itself, isn’t it?
My Inspiration
Drawing from these peaceful moments, I try to bring a slice of this tranquility into every piece of jewellery I design. Whether it’s the serene blues of the ocean captured in a London blue topaz or the sparkling dance of sunlight on water reflected in intricately placed silver, each piece is a home to these calming waters.
The Role of Water in Wellness
Beyond its beauty, water plays a crucial role in our well-being. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about feeling. Water environments are therapeutic landscapes that have been shown to promote health, reduce stress, and increase a sense of well-being. This wellness aspect drives me to create pieces that aren't just beautiful but are also infused with a sense of calm and mindfulness.
Creating With Care
I believe that the materials we choose carry stories of their own. That’s why I use recycled materials and ethically sourced gemstones in my creations. It’s important to me that my work not only brings joy and peace to those who wear it but also respects and preserves the beauty of our natural world. The textures of the materials I select, from smoothed sea glass to polished stones, are chosen to reflect the many aspects of water, from its surface to its depths.
A Personal Touch
For me, jumping into the ocean is like hitting a reset button. It stops my busy mind for those few seconds under water, where nothing else matters but the here and now. I want my jewellery to be a little reminder of that feeling for you - like a deep breath you can wear.
I’m also exploring ways to give back to these wonderful oceans that inspire us so much. I’m planning to support ocean conservation efforts through my upcoming collections, hoping to help protect these waters that offer us so much solace.
I would love to hear about your moments by the water. Do waves and wide -open seas bring you peace too? Share your stories with me, and let’s celebrate the calming power of water together.
Remember, next time you wear one of my pieces, think of it as carrying a piece of that peace with you, wherever you go.
With love and calm,
Marketa
