Avel Lenttan Jewelrycollections are made with 18K gold and 9K rose, white or yellow gold for the Be The One, collection.

Gold represents the image of the sun, a symbol of divine principles and the sign of earthly and celestial glory.

The Egyptians associated it with the sun godRa. The ancient Greeks saw gold as a symbol of the mind and of immortality. In India, gold represents truth and in the Taoist alchemic treatise, “The Secret of the Golden Flower,” the gold flower is a symbol of enlightenment.

Over the centuries, man has tried to extract gold in all ways from the bowels of the earth and fierce battles have been fought to possess it.

Today’s mentality is changing, bringing about a profound awareness of the delicate balance of nature and the gifts it offers us that we must treasure and protect in compliance with ethical practices.
