You could be forgiven for thinking that they really are the best dressed night of the soul!!
The ancient Egyptians believed that a human soul was made up of five parts: the Ren (Name) the Ba, (Soul) the Ka (Vital Spark) the Sheut,(Shadow) and the Ib (Heart). A person's shadow, Sheut was always present. It was believed that a person could not exist without a shadow, nor a shadow without a person, therefore, Egyptians surmised that a shadow contained something of the person it represents. For this reason statues of people and deities were sometimes referred to as their shadows. The shadow was represented graphically as a small human figure painted completely black as well.

Beautiful Golden feather mounted on golden ring.
Feathers are sensitive to the slightest wind, and thus are emblems of the psyche’s capacity to pick up invisible and imperceptible currents. If we take notice of these and follow them we can be shown new possibilities or discover where psychic energy is tending. Feathers form the wings with which one can transcend the concrete, escape confinement and soar to creative heights or spiritual vision.

We took a vintage lattice mirrored jewel from the 70's and mounted it on vintage filigree ornate frames then embedded the piece onto a vintage brass cuff that is fully adjustable.
Mirrors were cult objects used in the worship of Hathor, Goddess of abundance, joy, music, dance, cosmetics and self-beautification, which brought one into harmony with the divine.
Mirrors have always existed. Before the use of metal, they were the reflections on the waters collected in the earth’s indentations. Early peoples believed that in such reflections the soul element could be perceived.
Our English word “mirror” comes from the Latin mirari: to wonder or marvel at.

Robyn Lawley, Super model, Ghost and Lola muse and spokesperson for all of us "Real Size " girls featured here in our Nightrider ring and Divine Earrings.
From ABC program Australian Story shown last night : "Australia's most successful plus-size model has hit back at criticisms some curvy models who appeared in a Sports Illustrated catwalk show sent an unhealthy message.
At size 14 and 185 centimetres, former Sydneysider Robyn Lawley said it was time an array of sizes were shown on runways.
"These are people we're talking about. They have feelings," Lawley said.
"I've met all the girls who did that catwalk. None of these models were unhealthy … they all work out."
Lawley looks forward to the day when the term "plus-size" is no longer used for models over a size-10.
"I've always been the person who says I hate the term plus-size," Lawley said.
"I hate the tag. I think you should shoot a whole bunch of girls, whatever size you need."
Ghost and Lola agrees!!!
