Ananta:       Everlasting - dance of Shiva within a circle

Rachel Galley’s latest collection was inspired by a trip to India.   “In one of India’s many ancient palaces I came upon a beautiful, intricate carving which contained a separate ring encased in lotus flowers and dragons.   The ring moved independently, although it was created from the same piece of wood.  Adding my own interpretation   - to keep continual motion within my pendants - I have tried to translate this seemingly magical movement by placing an exotic stone within the pendant’s spherical encasement.”   Reminiscent of the perpetual motion of Shiva dancing within a circle, the new collection is named:  ‘Ananta’.
