The Symbolism in Jewelry: Wear What Matters

Meaningful Jewelry handmade in Sterling Silver, 18k Gold and Gemstones by Bowman Originals, Sarasota

Choose to Wear meaningful Jewelry

From ancient talismans to modern heirlooms, jewelry has always held power. Whether worn for protection, love, remembrance, or personal identity, jewelry is more than an ornament—it’s a message worn close to the heart.

At Bowman Originals, our handcrafted Sterling Silver and 18k Gold jewelry is rooted in rich symbolism and artisan detail. Each piece invites a deeper connection between meaning and adornment.

Why Symbolic Jewelry Resonates

Wearing symbolic jewelry is a timeless act of self-expression. Jewelry can:

  • Celebrate identity and purpose
  • Commemorate personal milestones
  • Serve as a daily reminder of strength, love, or heritage
  • Carry generational meaning or spiritual value

Because jewelry is on the body, it naturally becomes sentimental touchstones—quiet reminders of what matters most.

Meaning Behind Our Signature Jewelry

Fleur-de-Lis

A symbol of honor, nobility, and resilience. Rooted in French heritage and medieval royalty, this timeless design speaks to inner strength and grace under pressure.

Laurel Leaf

Represents victory, wisdom, and transformation. Once used to crown poets and warriors, the laurel is a perfect gift for those reaching a new chapter in life.

Poseidon-Inspired 

Emblematic of power, flow, and courage, our ocean-inspired pendants speak to those who thrive in motion and adapt with confidence.

Heart 

Celebrate love, passion, and connection with handcrafted heart jewelry—timeless symbols of affection, devotion, and heartfelt expression.

 

Choosing Jewelry With Meaning

When selecting symbolic jewelry, consider:

  • The emotion or value you want to express
  • The milestone it commemorates
  • The recipient's story or journey
  • A piece that pairs well with existing chains or other layers

Wear what matters. Share what’s meaningful. Start your own legacy in handmade precious metal jewelry.
