Metal Divider with Crystal Cross, 20.5x13 mm, Red

Metal Bead - Divider with Crystal Cross Shape

Dividers are used at specific intervals in beaded jewelry. Their role is to separate the piece into individual segments, either for aesthetic or functional purposes. In beadwork, they are invaluable aids. If they have more than one hole, they can hold multiple threads to prevent tangling. Metal dividers easily blend with other materials. Their presence in the design accentuates and diversifies the palette of creative possibilities, especially when their impact is highlighted by the sparkling facets of small crystals.

SYMBOLISM of the cross - The cross is a symbol of spirituality and healing. The four points of the cross represent self, nature, wisdom, and a higher power or being. It is associated with transition, balance, faith, unity, moderation, hope and life. It is one of the earliest Christian symbols, which in the broadest sense symbolizes the Christian religion or more specifically the death of Christ. There are many varieties, some of which have a specific meaning. The empty cross, for example, reminds Christians of the resurrection, while the crucifix with the body of Jesus reminds them of his sacrifice. The Greek cross, which has equal shoulders, is a symbol of faith, hope and love. The triumphal cross with a circle represents Christ’s reign over the world. The symbolism of the Celtic cross, especially the equilateral cross, reveals the human desire to know and experience the unfolding mystery of life. He offers four ways of ascension - objective knowledge of Self, Nature, Wisdom and God. The Celtic cross can also be seen as a compass. When we find ourselves tossed about by the stormy seas of life, it can reorient our focus and move our thoughts in the right direction. By affirming the symbolic meanings of the cross, we place our spirit on a firm foundation.
