DELIGHT COLLECTION - SIMON ALCANTARA

Delight means “from the light.”

Light can be seen and measured in wavelengths. It is non-linear and can be created through consciousness.

We associate the word delight with feelings of joy, happiness, and pleasure, which are high-frequency emotions that raise our frequency. The higher our frequency, the more light we generate, and the more we can reflect that light.

The Delight Collection is a continuation on the map of the New Genesis Collection. In New Genesis, I focused on the reminders of who we are: “I am made of Stars” "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy,” and “Waves of love.”

I also used colors representing the four elements, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.

In creating the Delight Collection, I focused on the energy we need to embody to navigate this new world to create a more conscious and high-frequency existence.  As I was researching stones for this collection, I was powerfully attracted to Terahertz, a stone that I had never heard of before. I was entranced by the stone's cosmic appearance, and how it reflects and refracts light.

I learned that Terahertz is created mostly from Silica in sand and that it was discovered and created by Japanese scientists.  It is said that Terahertz has many healing physical properties, including improving circulation, protecting from harmful electromagnetic rays, and clearing the brain of heavy and negative thoughts.  It is also believed to have a calming effect on emotional health and can restore the health of the base chakra.

In pairing Terahertz with gold, quartz, and black agate, I intended to create a pure and precise collection.  I reworked some of my signature silhouettes and discovered new expressions on silhouettes introduced in New Genesis.  New expressions in the Delight Collection feature handwoven wave-like ear climbers with and without diamonds. I created multi-wave handwoven earrings that reflect my earliest signature double woven rings. I added new rings in a satin finish in concave and tapered shapes representing how light waves move and travel through time and space.  As you explore the collection, you will discover new explorations of my design vocabulary.

In my view, Love carries the most light and therefore, the highest frequency. As in all my collections, there is a continuous thread that allows you to beautifully and easily combine new pieces with pieces from my previous collections. The goal is to facilitate your creative style expression. This collection reminds us that as we embody more light, and cultivate delight, we illuminate the world.
