My fingers run through the beads and charms uniquely displayed in old printer’s trays by Rebecca Dolber, creator of R.E.D. jewelry. Magnetically, I am drawn to the turquoise circles. Turquoise always catches my eye right away, but today I keep coming back to the circles.
When I talk to Rebecca… I know why. Circles are never ending. Nothing is forgotten in a circle. It may get lost for a while … with love it has new life and new meaning. I believe rebirth is the inspiration behind Rebecca’s jewelry. Her work is like a collection of modern day heirlooms. She uses pieces from old necklaces, bracelets and has a particular fondness for old pocket knives. She strings these pieces together with charms engraved with words.
You can create your own necklace … 5 charms for $35 … and if you believe in the message it may just heal you. Think of it like an amulet … as long as you believe … your mind, body and soul will open up and receive the positivity in the world. She stamps words like love, embrace, inspire into her charms. Combine a word or words with imagery to create your personal mantra.
Creating an amulet is a powerful experience. I felt drawn to certain charms, went with my intuition and felt a sense of calm come over me… I was drawn to a lady bug, a turquoise hat, a clear octagon, skull and the word embrace. I watched my dream, my own personal mantra, come alive before my eyes.
When you learn that Rebecca uses antique printer’s shelves, frames, and other found objects as displays it is easy to understand how she spreads decades of love and new meaning with each piece she creates.
In my opinion, Rebecca’s R.E.D jewelry is spiritually and sentimentally sustainable.
