This Bracelet was handcrafted with love as part of our Symbols Serenity Collection. It features the Cocoa symbol integrated with Rainforest Jasper beads. Cocoa was thought to be of divine origin, as the Aztecs believed the cocoa tree was the spiritual bridge between heaven and earth. Cocoa beans were given to priest’s assistants during children’s coming of age ceremonies. During marriage ceremonies, the bride and groom would exchange cocoa beans and partake in a symbolic cup of chocolate. The Aztecs believed that by drinking chocolate, they would gain the wisdom of Quetzalcoatl (the God of learning). Jasper is believed to absorb negative energy, and deliver strength, stability, courage and wisdom. Rainforest Jasper is thought to foster a deeper connection with the earth, nature and the environment. It is considered a stone of joy and happiness that attracts positivity into life. It is thought to bring balance in life, calm emotions and promote mental clarity. It is also believed to foster peace, happiness and love in its wearer. Wear this bracelet as you enjoy the deep connections with nature and those around you, remembering to embrace joy, happiness, wisdom and balance in all areas of life. ©
