Circle Earrings with Turquoise

The circle is the simplest symbol of feminine consciousness.
It represents wholeness, unity and belonging. 

"The one who dreamed the universe loved circles and created everything with such beautiful incompletion that we need others to complete the circles of identity, belonging and creativity... Life is full of magnetic interims that call what is separate and different to become one, to enter into the art and presence of belonging.... Longing and belonging are focused within the circle." - John O'Donohue
