My design inspiration typically comes from experiences I have had during a specific season of life. Throughout the month September and October I continued to feel a lot of change in the air....an unusual amount of change. As I was sensing this I would also hear the sound of bells.Whether I was working in the studio, at the post office or shopping downtown, I would hear bells everywhere. I knew that the sound of bells and feeling of change was connected somehow and researched it a little more.
In my research I found that a bells ring actually corrects frequencies. It overwhelms other frequencies and over powers them until they resonate on the same frequency. It's a correction sound. It draws to it a community to resound in unison. It is my belief that the things that have been out of order are now coming into order. It is a divine order that brings peace and stability. To me, the bell represents correction, order and balance.
I designed the Beni necklace based on this experience. Named after one of my favorite mystics, this piece is made of African brass, antique trade beads and a single antique African brass bell.
