I chose the name Circulo, meaning ‘circle’ in Spanish not only for its shape, but as a representation of unity, completeness, and equality.

 In Islam and interestingly throughout many ancient cultures, the circle is utilized in design as a base for creation. It's used as a symbol of equality because of its perfect symmetry relative to its center extending in every direction. When I reflect on what 'unity' means to me the strength of numbers comes to mind.

My intention for the Circulo Necklace is to serve as a reminder that our separateness is only perceived, through unity the strength of our wholeness is revealed.
