Symbolism A crown is a traditional symbolic form of head adornment worn by a monarch or by a deity (as distinct from a hat), for whom the crown traditionally represents power, legitimacy, victory, triumph, honor, and glory, as well as immortality, righteousness, and resurrection. In European countries which are based on Christian tradition, monarchic power is given from the power of the church. That is why, when a new monarch is crowned, crown is placed on a monarch head by a church official. Most Holy Roman Emperors traveled to Rome to be crowned by a Pope. Legend says that Napoleon took a crown from Pius VII and crowned himself at the ceremony of his coronation. British Monarchy and Tongan Monarchy are the only monarchies in the world that continue tradition of coronation although they are not the only monarchies that use crown as a national symbol. Other countries may not use crowns in the process of coronation but may use other ways to adorn the head of the ruler. One of such ways is as a royal tikka in the Hindu tradition of India.

It has a lovely warm, gentle vibration. It is great in times of tough emotional issues, soothing the nerves and encouraging a calm demeanour. It is said to gently help open our psychic and intuitive connections. Abalone Shell is an excellent companion when needing guidance in relationships as it enhances and supports communication, cooperation, commitment and compromise, which in turn lead to harmony and balance. It also helps us to understand both sides of issues by encouraging us to take a moment to stand in the other person’s “shoes”, and thus glean a more objective stand point, which is helpful for both parties. The Abalone Shell is a perfect gift for those who have survived traumatic experiences, to let them know that while they may have been tossed and turned themselves as the shell has been in the sea, in the end, they are only more beautiful for it.
