Long time ago in a galaxy not so far away… the human ancients realised that the supreme Universal Consciousness – aka the Divine or God – used the language of Sacred Geometry while manifesting the physical world.
The symbolism of this celestial language carries deep meaning and impacts many aspects of our lives. The better we understand it, the more we can tap from the power and wisdom of the Universe itself…
Even if you are sceptical or not interested in spiritual or sacred matters – still you can hugely benefit from using the basic principles of Sacred Geometry in your daily life. It works regardless of what you think about it.
Starting from simple questions, like what shape of table, round or square, you should choose for your office or home, to what kind of jewellery to wear for a date or a business meeting – the power of geometric symbolism will do its job even if you couldn’t care less.
So you better pay attention… Then you can consciously use the force to your own advantage.
Major geometric shapes – square, circle and the triangle – all have a highway-like connection to the celestial archetypes. Let’s begin with looking at the Circle.
Remember these famous lines “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”?
If the Universe started with the “Word” – the celestial thought form, the archetypes – then perhaps the physical world could have began with the Circle – the sacred archetypal shape behind everything manifested.
Circles are ubiquitous – from the steering wheel of your car to the celestial bodies of the Solar System, and even further, all the way to spinning infinity of galaxies – the divine archetypal circle can be found in the fabric of our world at every level.
A Circle Symbolises Harmony, Wholeness and Protection
Circles represent the primordial archetype of movement. Continuity which has neither end nor beginning.
Infinite movement, change of seasons, rhythmical cycles of life, where the end of one phase becomes the beginning of another.
In the Universe everything moves in a circles-like manner – galaxies, stars and planets. Changes in seasons, cycles in human bodies all have repeating, rhythmic motions. Pretty much all large celestial bodies shaped as spheroids due to their circular, spinning movement in the cosmos.
When humanity – somewhere around 3500 B.C. – figured out that the wheel could be used for transportation, it was the biggest accomplishment that dynamised the progress of ancient civilisations. Major human inventions and innovations rest on the archetypal circular principle.
Circle is a symbol of wholeness – the divine unity of everything in the Universe.
In the human body, the iris looks very much like a galaxy or a spinning nebula. The mystical centre in the pupil, as a black hole that takes the light in, is surrounded by the band of stars swirling around its gravitational pull. The human eye is the physical interface between the inner microcosm and outer macrocosm that symbolises our shared nature and unity with the Universe.
Protection is another significant symbolism of the Circle.
Circle preserves the integrity of what is held inside and keeps it protected from any harm that may be coming from outside. Circle is always paradoxical, it unites as well as divides and separates the inside from the outside. This significant dualism was widely used in a great number of rituals across all major spiritual traditions in the world since time primordial. And it will be used as long as the Universe exists.
Subconsciously and at a very deep level of the human psychology, the Circle is the most comforting shapes of all.
The roundness inherent to the most of our body parts naturally resonates with the circular principle. And that’s why wearing the circle as a piece of jewellery brings the sense of ultimate harmony.
No surprise that circle-based jewellery designs are the most popular among women compared to designs that use sharp angles. After all, the circle is associated with femininity! In a majority of cases our choice is subconsciously pulled towards round and oval designs.
Roundness is soothing. It gives both organic comfort and a deep sense of psychological balance. Circles are free of disturbing angles. Circular nature is continuous and flowing.
You can relax with a Circle. Not so with other shapes! Wearing shapes like squares and triangles, usually serves a specific purpose. Angular jewellery pieces work through their contrasting nature that may not always suit the required attitude.

In jewellery design, any geometric shape broadcasts a particular message that contributes to your personal image – through subtle and mostly subconscious cues that influence how people perceive you and feel around you.
If you want to create a sense of unity and a smooth flow between you and people you deal with, make them feel comfortable and included – go for circle-based jewellery.
Here are some examples of situations in which you may benefit from wearing round shape geometric jewellery:
When you wear circle-based jewellery, the geometric roundness that you have consciously chosen to be associated with sends people the following subconscious messages:
On the opposite, if you choose to wear square or triangle-based jewellery the messages you send to others will be very different. Read more about other geometric shapes in jewellery…
The main thing you may want to keep in mind:
The symbolism of geometry works even if don’t believe in it.
By consciously choosing the geometry of your jewellery you are able to send the right subconscious message to others. Make the Sacred Geometry collaborate with your intentions instead of contradicting them.
Knowing the language of geometry and jewellery you can not only send but also read other people simply by observing what kind of jewellery they choose to wear. I do it all the time – the first thing I notice when I meet a woman is her jewellery. It tells me so much about her… perhaps, that is a good topic for another blog post.
By definition a Talisman is meant to protect and bring luck. It connects the wearer with the forces it represents.
Circle-based jewellery is a perfect companion for anyone who seeks emotional balance, wants to get in touch with the intuitive feminine nature within and perhaps engage energetic healing. It also comforts, harmonises and protects.
What if we add another force to this equation – the gemstone?
Geometric gemstone jewellery can be considered as the perfect talisman – it taps its potency from the two powerful forces – the symbolism of sacred geometry and the energy of gemstones.
We have created our Dancing Orbit collection with one big aspiration... We wanted to bring together the Sacred Symbolism of the Circle and the magical energies of natural gemstones.
Dancing Orbit minimalist necklace design symbolises the dynamism of movement and the law of attraction. It represents the holding that doesn’t take away the freedom of movement.
The symbolism of the Circle enriched with the energies of eight beautiful natural gemstones:
Larimar – Pink Opal – Labradorite – Onyx – Rutilated Quartz – Lapis Lazuli – Snowflake Obsidian – Howlite
Choose which gemstone you want to orbit around and have a good flight!
