The King Maker!

Memories of your Kingdom are not forgotten!

Gothic silver studs surround three mystical stones, symbolizing gold, myrrh and frankincense.The 3 Kings ring is inspired by the wedding rings worn by Medieval Royalty.

Attn: The 3 Kings ring is a 'very' thick and wide ring, so you want to make sure you know your size for a wide and thick ring vs a thin band. I usually suggest 1/2 -3/4 larger from a thin band ring size.

For the princess who would dare to run deep within a dark, misty forest. She is the one who is worthy to find the magical objects, wild animals and the serene peacefulness that lies within! The Princess Love V ring is lightweight, and can be worn as a statement piece. Or, stack it with your favorite bands. The V ring fits the Princess Love ring like a glove. Go and get creative with this one!

The History And Symbolism Of Gargoyles Unique Wedding Rings By 3 Rexes Jewelry

.925 sterling silver gargoyle ring by 3 Rexes Jewelry
When you think of the beauty of the Middle-Ages, so many things come to mind. I think of the amazing architecture, and amazing creativity of the stone and mason work that were such a beautiful accent in the castles and churches. How everything was unique, one of a kind. One such item that has intrigued me for many years was the use of Gargoyles. With a little research, I think I have found some answers to the inquiry. 

Gargoyles came into gothic architecture in the early 13th century and are defined as a waterspout, projecting from an upper part of a building or a roof gutter to throw water clear of walls or foundations. The origins of the word 'gargoyle' are derived from the old French word 'gargouille' meaning throat. This describes the gurgling sound of the rushing water through the open mouth of the Gargoyle. In Architectural terms only the creature serving as actual water spout is called a Gargoyle, otherwise is it known as a Grotesque. A Grotesque may function solely as decoration.

 Gargoyles were usually carved in the form of a grotesque face, or frightening creature perched upon a rooftop. Gargoyles might depict such forms as ugly human faces, animals, Mythical creatures, imaginary creatures and they may also be a combination of several different forms. The materials used to create the earliest Gargoyles were made of wood or even terracotta, but early Medieval Gothic were made of stone. These frightening, grotesque sculptures are most often associated with Medieval churches and Cathedrals. Gargoyles were used to graphically depict pure evil. They were often so hideous that one could only imagine them in their worst nightmares. The ideas of these sculptures were often taken from mythology, folklore and images from Pagan religions. They were used to teach that evil is everywhere, yet the church was always a sanctuary against the demons and temptations.

Gargoyles were also used to great effect in English Gothic Castles. Gargoyles are frightening and intimidating sculptures and therefore embraced by English lords to cause fear and intimidation on the general population of their kingdoms. The purpose of the gargoyle was as “guardians” of the building. It was used to repel evil. With its wide open mouth was symbolic of devouring giants and intruders meaning harm to the castle.

With the thousands upon thousands of gargoyles that are still looking down upon us, the amazing designs were created from only imagination. Each stone carver and mason, could conjure any creature they could imagine. But one thing rings true, gargoyles were meant to protect and secure us. Keep us away from evil, away from harm.

Helpful Hints For Planning Your Gothic Wedding

(guest blogger; Kathie Hayes)

Majestic Medieval Ring

Is there anything more romantic than the wedding that suites your unique and individual sense of the love that belongs to you only? There is no right nor wrong way to create your dream ceremony. A Gothic Wedding may not be considered traditional, but truth be told, most of the “traditions” of modern matrimony, are seeded deep within the 13^th century. The flowers, the gown, the wedding party, and even the honeymoon are centuries old. All of which originated in the beautiful European landscape. Unfortunately, for most of us, a glorious German castle, or the lustrous rolling knolls of Ireland will never be within our grasp, there are ways to plan the majestic wedding, wherever you call home. I have gathered some ideas and listed them below. Hopefully the suggestions will spark your own creativity; and remember, it’s your wedding, the sky is the limit.

Majestic Medieval Ring

Attire: One of the more enticing reasons for planning a Gothic Wedding, is the deep, rich color palettes you will have to work with. For example, 3 Rexes has a gorgeous selection of stones and gothic designs. Once you and your love choose your perfect design, it is much easier to build your day around the style you have chosen. There are a lot of very talented designers that can be found on the internet. With the vast array of beautiful, vibrant colors to choose from, your venue will fall into place. Your ring will match your dress, and if you like, your flowers too!

Location: As I stated earlier, most of us will never have our castle wedding, but there are a lot of wonderful alternatives. For example, check with your local historical society. There are a lot of historical sites that offer well manicured, open fields, which can easily be molded into a picturesque countryside. Or perhaps a two hundred year old church is more to your liking. Most of the historic churches are lit only by candlelight, and just imagine the pipe organ vibrating off the acoustics of the stone walls. Another truly fantastic location I’ve stumbled upon are located in caves. At first you may think this idea is too “touristy”, but in all honesty, they are beautiful. I have seen two sites that offer wedding packages. They actually have underground chapels that are laminated only by candlelight. Just imagine the soft light flickering of the glossy walls.

Invitations: There are also endless possibilities for the type of wedding invitations available to you that can be purchased from local artisans. There are also some easy do-it-yourself invitation projects. You can antique your invitations by soaking them in a shallow pan of brewed tea. This process will mimic the appearance of stiff linen, which was used for paper centuries ago. You can also change the tint of the invitation by using different types of tea, and the time you allow them to soak in the mixture. Just remember that the invitation is the first hint to your guests, that they are going to be a part of your celebration.  Any Important information should be included in the invite and/or save a date mailing. Most people assume the ceremony will be held in a church, and the reception in a hall; it is necessary to inform the guest of the terrain, the theme and the suggested attire. It’s much easier to enjoy your event, if they know what to expect.

And the final tip…. Enjoy your day. This is the first day of your happily ever after. Just sit back and let your dreams paint the life you are destined to have.

Purple Amethyst: The Meaning of February’s Birthstone

The Empress Vampire brass ring with japanese amethyst faceted stone

Amethyst is the birth stone for February. This stunning quartz gemstones come in shades of lilac, purple and mauve, not to mention the Amethyst birthstone also embraces spiritual growth and protection. If you were born in February, the amethyst powers for healing will intensify more strongly for you. This is especially true as you hold an amethyst in your hand or wear a piece of amethyst jewelry against your skin. 

Pisces and the amethyst stone properties have a long history of association. In recent times, amethyst and Aquarius equally are believed to have a strong affiliation. This is due to February being the birthstone month for amethyst.

For those who are not born under Pisces or during February, you will still gain benefits from the properties of amethyst crystals. Even though amethyst crystal clusters will reverberate more strongly with those who fall under this zodiac sign, the benefits can be felt by anybody.

The Amethyst meaning is spiritual growth and protection. These beautiful healing crystals are also known for bringing clarity of the mind to the owner. By wearing or using Amethyst crystals, you can become more in tune with your own feelings and get to know your inner self on a much deeper level. It is a gemstone which can bring you calmness, inner peace and is thought to heighten your natural intuition.

Amethysts are known for their ability to reduce addictive traits. The name amethyst is derived from the ancient Greek word “amethustos”, which translates to “not drunk”.  Goblets made of amethyst or in the color purple were used to hinder inebriation. Today, amethysts are used in alternative healing practices for reducing addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping and a number of other afflictions.

The meaning of amethyst is also of protection. The Amethyst energy stones repel negative energy and attract positive energy. They can also protect the wearer against themselves, when addiction is concerned. It is a gemstone of spiritual protection that will help guide the wearer on their divine spiritual path. Amethyst is used to provide protection when working with ouija boards and for those who are regularly in contact with the spirit world.

Amethyst healing properties can relieve pain and swelling throughout the body by calming the nervous system. Amethyst is well known for having a positive affect against insomnia and nightmares. By placing an amethyst crystal under your bed, you can dispel nightmares and encourage lucid dreaming. Many people use Amethyst in meditation to allow relief of stress and anxiety.

I just love the beautiful, rich color of an amethyst jewelry. The warm colors match so flawlessly compliment everything I wear. During these cold, winter months, before the buds begin to bloom, I personally love the calming splash of color amethysts provide. (guest blogger: Kathie Hayes)

Topaz: December’s Mystical Birthstone | SIlver Wedding Rings For Celtic And Gothic Ceremonies

Topaz: December’s Mystical Birthstone

Here at 3rexes.com, we not only embrace the beautiful craftsmanship of the past. Our designs are rich in historical traditions. Our goal is to bring the beauty and uniqueness within reach of anyone. With so many styles and options to choose from, let’s start with the rich tones of December’s birthstone, Topaz.

December is just the beginning of a wonderfully magical time of the year. With the crispness in the air and the peacefulness of the gentle slumber that nature brings. As the fauna sleeps and the frost begins to blanket the hills, we celebrate the mystical powers of December’s birthstone, crystal blue shades of topaz. Although the cool shades of topaz are reminiscent of the crisp winter season, most of those born in this month are said to not only be tender and kind, but nurturing and patient. Perhaps this is why topaz has become December’s birthstone healing properties.

The word “topaz” is believed to derive from the Sanskrit word “tapas,” which can mean fire, heat, and passion. For centuries, topaz stones have been used in Celtic wedding ceremonies. It was believed that the powers of the stone ensured the long, prosperous and stable homestead. It also was thought to ensure happiness and love to the betrothed.

Others believe “topaz” comes from the Greek word “topazos,” which means “to search. Many people use alternative medicine in the form of healing crystals and blue topaz has its own list of perceived health benefits. Long before “organized medicine”, many turned to a more holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle. The is such a broad spectrum of benefits such as regulating heart function, glandular problems, improved eyesight, decreased headaches, ease arthritis pain, and ease anxiety and depression. A strong belief in the natural healing powers of nature and faith combined, enhance the complete wellness of both body and soul.

Besides the health benefits, there are also more spiritual benefits. In the mystical times of the Shakespearian period of great literary masterpieces, the blue topaz was also referred to as “The Writer’s Stone”.  Blue Topaz stones will heighten your ability to communicate better, and to express yourself in a more clear and confident form. It is a helpful stone if you have been having difficulties with public speaking. It may also assist you to think better and to concentrate on the task undertaken. It will also help you to decide what type of employment you wish to be in, and has a vibration that allows you to make clearer and more specific decisions about the direction you wish to take your life. It aids you to discuss your life path with those dearest to you, as it helps you to clearly express your hopes and wishes. It will help you to speak clearly and to communicate what comes through from spirit, in a manner that others can clearly understand. Centuries later, this era is still praised as perhaps the most creatively captured chapter in literary history.

                  

The beauty of topaz has been so instrumental in our culture; such inspirational meanings and such a positive influence in our pursuit of enlightenment. With the belief of powers stronger than ourselves we can achieve tranquility, prosperity, love and wellness. I personally find comfort that beliefs and positivity can build a strong foundation for a life of serenity.
