The Workshop

Gold or Silver Jewelry derived from the Star Images

Since ancient times all cultures have ascribed groups of stars specific names, characteristics and influences. Each group, or star image, encompasses a host of angelic beings working to realize one aspect of the divine plan, and work in a cosmic, formative way into life on earth. With respect to our body they are connected with specific forms and forces which were created in the past – the connection between the parts of the body and the zodiac, for instance. In addition, they express a divine ideal striving for realization in the future (and which will come to realization through the human being.)

Each star image, as an expression of a form gesture, tells us what qualities they engender on the earth. By artistically living into these gestures we gain insight into their specific mode of activity. We can find them, for instance, as impulses at work within our will. The gold and silver sculptures created out of these impulses give a living insight into their activity. They show, in the physical world, what we inwardly have to accomplish to realize their activities. Because there is a direct link between the sculptural gesture of the amulet and the angelic star beings, the wearer will, over a longer or shorter period, experience a growing consciousness and purposefulness of will in a certain direction.

The designs are by Nicolaas de Jong. They are individually handcrafted by the painter and goldsmith Birgit Tiller.
