How to choose the right symbolic object for you.

What is an Amulet?

The amulet is an object of protection.
Its main function is to keep disharmonious energies away, protecting the wearer from unwanted influences.
Often made from natural materials, unique stones, ancient symbols, or specific shapes, it acts as an energetic shield.
It can be carried with you at all times or worn as protective jewelry.

What is a Talisman?

The talisman, on the other hand, is an object that attracts and amplifies desired energies or situations.
It is created with a specific intention: to attract love, prosperity, luck, creativity, or support in a goal.
Unlike the amulet, which repels, the talisman invites and strengthens.

Frequently Asked Questions about Amulets and Talismans

How to choose between an amulet and a talisman?

Choose an amulet if you want protection and want to ward off negative energy. Choose a talisman if you want to attract or enhance a specific quality.

Can an object be both an amulet and a talisman?

Yes, but usually one main function is favored so as not to disperse the energetic intent.

Do you need to “charge” an amulet or talisman?

Traditionally, yes: through rituals, intentions, or symbolic acts. In my jewelry, this phase is part of the creative process.

Which materials are most suitable?

Natural stones, silver, brass, and ancient or natural symbols are among the most commonly used to create amulets and talismans.
