MODERN ALCHEMY
Alchemy is an ancient branch of natural philosophy. In its Western form, alchemy is first attested in a number of pseudepigraphical texts written in Greco-Roman Egypt during the first few centuries CE.
Alchemists attempted to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials. A common aim was chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" into "noble metals" (particularly gold).
A well known maxim of the alchemists is: Aurum nostrum non est aurum vulgi, which means: Our gold is not the gold of the crowd. The perfection of the human body and soul was thought to result from the alchemical Magnum Opus ("Great Work"). Many believe that the Magnum Opus symbolizes the quest for perfection, the personal journey towards enlightenment, to spiritual gold.
Like the hidden meaning in alchemy's vast world of imagery, our jewelry is meant to guide and stimulate you on your philosophical journey.
