Hexagons and ovals in your jewelry can go a long way to uniquely stand out. These particular geometric shapes are more than necessary to give a particular touch, being different from the most common versions such as straight lines, circles and squares.
An elementary figure in geometry. The hexagon is recognized in its regular form as having six sides and six angles of equal size, while the irregular hexagon consists of most of its sides of different sizes, leaving only a pair, parallel in position of equal length. The word hexagon derives from ancient Greece, coming from the word ‘ἑξάγωνον’, which means ‘angle’.
There are two peculiarities of this form in today’s society and in nature, correspondingly. The first, in case you didn’t know, is that the metropolitan area of France is known as the ‘French Hexagon’, as it is built with this geometric shape. The second is that a honeycomb is made up of small cells inside, which are all the same size and have a hexagonal shape.
As for jewelry, the hexagon can be found in different garments, of different use for each occasion.. In chains it is a favorite to be able to appreciate the balance between all its parts. Many materials lend themselves to adapting to the hexagonal shape, ranging from 18-carat gold to more handcrafted versions with walnut wood.
There is a particular garment that is used as a protective amulet and a healing method, being necessary to perform it in a hexagonal shape. This is the ‘Prism’ pendant. In the practice of Reiki, this type of pendant is used for diagnose the balance of the chakras, know the energy treatment method to be used, and the complementary modalities that the person should use to restore their health, which makes it a basic tool in healing practices.
Splitting between a circle and an ellipse, the oval represents another particular geometric figure that will make you highlight a different look than usual. With its two arches that have the same relationship between their axes, the oval differs from other shapes due to the perception of softness and simplicity that it brings to the eye.
Framed at the moment of sculpting different precious materials, the oval has always figured for the realization of rings. However, its simplicity has been established in the new collections of necklaces that should be taken into account for the fall-winter season that is beginning.
Be it a simple garment with a single chain, or with a varied overlapping fall, the oval coincides in different sizes, shapes, materials and colors, providing in its simplicity an infinite world of possibilities. Both in earrings, bracelets, belts, and the already famous chokers, the oval will be a jewel in the rough, with which only creativity will be able to decide the way in which it should be adapted to each feminine ‘look’.
