Due to a combination of amber and gold this jewel has a lively character and underline powerful harmony of metal and a gemstone. Wavy lines are very suitable for the symbolic meaning of the composition in the heart of the brooch. This picture has a sacral meaning in many cultures. In Ancient Egypt ram`s horns were considered to be a symbol of the Sun God Amon-Ra, joy and prosperity.

In Christian period the Aries meant purity of a body and holiness. It is also a symbol of Easter. In this religious context and according to the Byzantine traditions a yellow color refers to the divine light.
