Here at BellaMira, they adorn a wide range of tapestries, necklaces and earrings. There are many meanings and interpretations behind elephant symbols, which are particularly significant in Indian and Asian faiths, including Hinduism and Buddhism. Strength & Power: In the most general, universal meaning, the elephant symbolises strength and power. This meaning refers to both the body and the mind. The elephant is also seen as a sort of spirit guide to help us along a journey that requires patience. Wisdom & Loyalty: Elephant symbolism also represents sensitivity, wisdom, stability, loyalty, intelligence, peace, reliability and determination, which are all seen in the animal’s nature when observed in the wild. Elephants are gentle giants, who show great care toward their herd, offspring and elders. This symbolises responsibility, determination and loyalty. These traits are well depicted in our elephant tapestries. Patience: Elephants are also a symbol for keeping calm and having patience as elephants are generally calm and mellow creatures, unless their young or herd is threatened. The elephant is very slow to anger and is, therefore, a calming, stable and patient symbol. Power: In its huge physical form, the elephant could do a lot of damage if it wanted to but it isn’t in their nature to be destructive. This makes the elephant symbol so powerful and admirable, as even though they have the power to dominate, they choose to lead a calm and harmonious existence. In many cultures, elephants are revered and highly respected due to their symbolic meaning. Cultures in most regions across the world hold some sort of value to the elephant as a symbol, which makes it a very powerful and prominent symbol. It is believed that using elephant symbolism in and around one’s household will invite good luck and fortune into one’s home, while keeping any negativity out. Tapestries, wall art, figurines and jewellery featuring elephants is very popular. CARING FOR STERLING SILVER Proper storage of sterling silver jewellery and gift items goes a long way toward preserving its shine and preventing the oxidation that can cause dullness and discolouration. Below, we have compiled some quick tips for proper storage of fine silver jewellery: To prevent scratches, each piece should be stored individually in its own case, pouch, or compartment. Be sure store sterling silver in a dry, cool place. In hot climates, it should be kept in an air-conditioned room. Avoid keeping jewellery boxes in bathrooms, as the moist, warm air can compromise the brilliance of your sterling. For best results, keep your sterling silver jewellery in a case lined with tarnish-resistant material. If you are planning on storing a sterling silver piece for an extended period of time, try sealing it in an airtight bag (plastic works fine) to protect it from oxidation and humidity.
