“She found in the Garden of Eden all the treasures that her heart could desire,” the motto of the natural jewelry line,Eden, summarizes perfectly the sentiment felt upon enteringthe exhibit.
Rawan Mattar, the founder of Eden jewelry has brought her idea of Eden within our reach. From the butterfly farms ofPeru to the unearthed fossils of the African deserts whererivers once flowed, Eden jewelry elicits a magnetic vibrationthat gently swirls around your chakras tingling withresponse. Upon first glance of these creations, one drawsnearer with a curious child-like eye tapping into the unityof creation and being, which we all share. Rawan Mattarmuses over why this might be…
Rawan Mattar, knew the name Eden would uniquely represent
the natural jewelry that ranges from rare gem stones,“We have an ethicalapproach to jewelry,some of the stonesare mined in highrisk hazardous areasmaking them incrediblydangerous to acquire.
Yet all stones are mined in a mannerthat keeps us conscious oflimiting the effect to theenvironment,”
overflowing with orchids next to bright honey golden fields; this is Eden.
Eden combines a wide variety of precious gems, semi precious stones andrare elements.
Adam Macintosh, their miner, has brought them amazing andrare prehistoric sharks teeth, Fluttergems and Ammonites, differentiatingthe jewelry line from what exists in ourlocal market.
“We have an ethical approach to jewelry, some of the stonesare mined in high risk hazardous areasmaking them incredibly dangerous toacquire. Yet all stones are mined ina manner that keeps us conscious oflimiting the effect to the environment,”
asserts Rawan. The butterfly wing collections (Flutter gems) for example,come from farms in Peru; their main priorityis to replenish the butterfly speciesand foster greater diversity.
Adam Macintosh, the supplier (and geologist),has been “digging up stones”since the age of 10 and running hisown successful jewelry business for thelast 10 years.
Traveling the world on high-risk adventures to find new gems,he lives for the treasure waiting to beunearthed. When at home in Scotland,he maintains this unity with natureby living in a tree house that he builthimself! Hopping from the jungles ofCongo, the islands of Japan and treadingthrough the heavy snows of Canadahe’s always searching for the magneticnatural find.
If finding the actual stones are this adventurous and eccentric, itis only fair to say that the collection isdefinitely bold and interesting.
All natural stones have been manifesting for hundreds and thousands of yearsin the earth harboring their own healingenergies.
Flutter gems (butterfly wings) are Rawan Mattar’s favorite collectionas they represent everything feminine innature. It was five years ago, in a farmin Peru that the wings of endangeredspecies were incased in jewelry in orderto preserve them. This charitable organizationsucceeded in erasing the largeelectric blue moth off of the endangeredspecies list. Eden celebrates the beautyof nature in a way that is in unison withthe environment.
“The Garden of Eden,” also known as “7th heaven, is renowned to be the perfecthaven (where Adam and Eve firstlived). Rawan Mattar has brought us awonderful collection for us in Jeddah.
