Our Gotland jewellery are built with the finest rock crystals handcollected from Brazil and cut in our shop in Bangkok.
All pendants are built in 925 sterling silver if nothing else is written.
An exquisite silver framed rockcrystal ball from the 13th Century, transition period between the Viking era and the Middle Ages.The original was found in Fröjel (Gotland).The crystal ball, with all probability, comes from guards deposits in Russia.
Its unique silver work shows that it presumably was made in Gotland. This striking and beautiful piece of jewellery conceals mysteriously its secret purpose. trough all these years there have been a number of hypotheses about its secret purpose,
Some declare that it was used as a magnifying or burn glass. Others believe Thai it was used as a navigational instrument. A modern hypothesis is that it belonged to a magician and it was used as a portable crystalball for prophecies.
It's also been told that a chieftain wore the pendant as a power symbol and because it was said to bring magic power.
The purpose of the pendant it still a mystery where the beauty of it remains.
When we at Geo Design, several years ago, saw this piece of jewellery and as we have worked with rock crystal in the design and making of our jewellery, we decided to produce it by the same principle as the original.
The crystal ball are carefully chosen from the finest rock crystal, which thereafter are cut and polished by hand. The silver-forging is handmade in 925 sterling silver and is all handmade.
Our purpose is to share this wonderful and beautiful gotlandic jewel with you.
