We use jewelry as symbols of ourloveand our commitment.
It speaks for us, like when we give the gift of a ring as a sign of love.
Could these just be coincidences?
But maybe theyre the universes way of nudging you to take a closer look at your relationships.
However, the true meaning lies in our personal interpretation, attachment, and emotions, says de Llano.
What Does Broken Jewelry Symbolize?
A simple chain might represent a lifelong friendship; whereas a ring symbolizes a deep romantic bond.
It’s this personal connection that gives the jewelry meaning.
In fact, the breakage often amplifies our existing feelings.
Whats often even more telling is our reaction to the breakage.
Its important to allow yourself to be curious about what the broken jewelry symbolizes to you.
But other times, it stirs up emotions and memories.
At the end of the day, the significance lies in what resonates withyou.
