Description
The Protection Petite Champleve Medallion has a scarab at the center. The Scarab is meant to shield the wearer, not from malevolent outside sources, but from our own negative thoughts. The ones that say, “you can’t do it” or something similar and prevent us from using our energy to build more productive and positive aspects of our lives.

Care Instructions
HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PIECE?
The biggest danger to enamel is cracking due to the impact of dropping it on hard surfaces. Wrap enamel jewelry in a soft cloth before storing to prevent the glass enamel from sustaining chips or scratches from your other jewelry. If damage occurs, we will gladly repair the piece for you, feel free to email us at clientcare@foundrae.com or call us at (212) 231-9898.
HOW TO CLEAN THIS PIECE?
Shine enamel with a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water. Apply makeup, perfume and hair spray before putting on jewelry, and do not wear your gold or enameled pieces in a swimming pool. Chlorine can damage gold, causing it to pit or become brittle. Gold pieces can be polished by your local jeweler.

Protection
This piece is derived from the Protection Tenet. We need protection from our own negative thoughts that prevent us from using our energy to build more productive and constructive aspects of our lives. Below are the symbols and their meanings.
- Horseshoe The Horseshoe is a symbol of a shield of protection. We chose it as our symbol of Protection particularly due to the Metal it was originally made from; Iron. Iron is a strong metal that withstands fire, an appropriate metaphor for standing against the fire of adversity and negativity.
- Horse n the face of adversity, the Latin word Invictus bolsters us. We can be hurt physically, financially, emotionally; yet our soul is unconquerable. “...I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. ...I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. “ Invictus c. 1875 William Ernest Henley
- Fire Symbol The divine triangle is associated with pyramids & sacred mountains; within the elements it is Fire, representing the journey of self discovery & transformation.
- Scarab The scarab is an ancient Egyptian symbol of Khepera, a form of the Sun God, who transforms inert matter into action, creates life and is a powerful protector.
- Water Symbol With its point downward, the divine triangle is an ancient symbol of femininity, suggestive of a chalice, or a cup; holding a reservoir of collective feminine energy. Within the elements, it represents Water.
