The Symbols
What each LIANA symbol stands for, the moment it is made for, and the piece that carries it.
WITHIN
Meaning: At LIANA, WITHIN stands for self trust: trusting your own voice.
The moment: You have looked outside yourself for the answer for a long time: in other people's approval, in timing, in signs. WITHIN is for the moment you stop abandoning yourself.
What WITHIN is not: a promise that you will always feel certain. And it is not the same as TRUE: TRUE shows the world who you are. WITHIN is the question before that, the one you ask yourself.
The form: a yoni form. It stands for origin: where wanting, joy and your own voice begin.
The piece: WITHIN – Watermelon Tourmaline Necklace. A tourmaline slice, 9.5 × 6.5 mm, in 925 sterling silver with 22k gold plating, 2 microns. Colour patterns and inclusions differ in every stone.
OPEN
Meaning: At LIANA, OPEN stands for opening: letting life reach you again.
The moment: You closed for a good reason, and it protected you. OPEN is for the moment you stop protecting yourself from your own life.
What OPEN is not: naivety, or a duty to let everything in. Closing was intelligent. Opening is a decision.
The form: The stone sits in the band like a seed, slightly raised and off-centre.
The piece: OPEN – Marquise Ring. Tourmaline or Black Rutile in a marquise cut, 4 × 8 mm, in 925 sterling silver with 22k gold plating, 2 microns. Sizes EU 52, 53 and 54.
TRUE
Meaning: At LIANA, TRUE stands for honesty: being yourself, unedited.
The moment: There is a version of you that only exists when no one is watching. TRUE is for the woman who is done performing.
What TRUE is not: the version that gets applause. And it is not harshness towards others: it is about no longer editing yourself.
The form: a round, textured pendant with compass lines and a gold vein.
The piece: TRUE – Compass Necklace. Tourmaline in varying colours or natural Salt & Pepper Diamond, round, 2 mm, in 925 sterling silver with 22k gold plating, 2 microns. Sits right on the collarbone.
STILL
Meaning: At LIANA, STILL stands for presence: being where your life is happening.
The moment: Your thoughts are already somewhere else while life is happening right here. STILL is for slowing down enough to feel the life you are living.
What STILL is not: standing still, or withdrawing. There can be a great deal ahead of you.
The form: a golden line across the silver, a quiet detail for the eye to return to.
The piece: STILL – Gold Vein Necklace. No gemstone, 925 sterling silver with 22k gold plating, 2 microns. Two chain styles: Organic and Lariat.
BECOMING
Meaning: At LIANA, BECOMING stands for transformation: the time in between.
The moment: You have outgrown one life and the next has not arrived yet. BECOMING is for the woman who is not who she was, and not yet who she will be.
What BECOMING is not: a before and after. The crack is not damage; it is the place where the old shape could no longer hold you.
The form: a ring with a golden crack running through it.
The piece: BECOMING – Gold Vein Ring. No gemstone, 925 sterling silver with 22k gold plating, 2 microns.
