«Horoscope Seal Stamps»
Step into the realm of eternity with our collection of seals, a tribute to the Chinese Horoscope and the esteemed signs of the zodiac. Here, humanity and cosmos converge, celestial bodies infuse life with profound meaning, and mystery unfolds.
Witness the celestial ballet of the stars, the mystique of ancient traditions, and the finesse of jewellery craftsmanship as they intertwine, giving birth to unique precious seals. Each seal, a jewellery manifestation of the revered zodiac signs, is crafted from noble metals and embellished with the radiance of precious stones. Every jewellery composition graces a jade pedestal, serving as the foundation for the seals. Like luminous beacons, they evoke a sense of wonder and awe in the beholders.
Each sculptural composition narrates a tale brimming with symbols intrinsic to the corresponding sign of the Zodiac, where archetypes of human existence assume new forms and hues. From Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Serpent, Capricorn and Aquarius, each celestial being possesses its unique traits, mirrored in the jewellery pieces dedicated to these signs. The exclusive collection of thirteen Demiurges mirrors the grotesque grandeur of the zodiac images, capturing the dynamism of each character frozen in time, akin to a three-dimensional snapshot extracted from the chronology of space. A common feature of all seals is the triadic support points in the sculptural composition, ensuring absolute stability of the seal on any surface, even when inverted.
For the artists and jewellers at the House of Lobortas, the Zodiac Signs are a wellspring of symbols that unveil new horizons for creative expression and kindle a profound understanding of mythology, astrology, and human nature. In collaboration with them, you have the opportunity to bring your vision to life. Whether it’s a mythological narrative or a theme of your own conception, you can create a unique collection of seal stamps that reflect your personal style and personality.
The Chinese Zodiac, with its ancient roots, offers a unique approach to astrology based on the calendar of lunar years. It consists of 12 animals, each corresponding to one year in a 12-year cycle. These animals are Rat, Bull, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. Each animal also corresponds with one of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The combination of animal and element determines the characteristics and predictions for people born in a particular year.
Each animal has its own unique traits specific to those born in that year and influences their life path. Based on such character references, the jewellers at the House of Lobortas create distinctive works of small-scale sculpture. Each animal is given special features and symbolism, resulting in unique pieces that capture the essence of each zodiac sign. The sculptural composition can be further enriched by an array of weapons from all corners of the globe and various historical epochs, ranging from crossbows, bows, and axes, to swords, katanas, broadswords, and even antique rifles. The fine lines, the sparkle of precious stones, the interplay of light and shadow, and the dynamics of captured movement – all these elements coalesce to create an image that prompts contemplation about the mysteries of fate and time.
Whether they are representatives of the Chinese Zodiac or zodiac signs – in each of these sculptural seal stamps, there is an echo of ancient wisdom allowing us to penetrate into the mysteries of the Universe and find harmony with it. This is the key to understanding our place in the world and the meaning of our existence reflected in jewellery creations.
