Ka Gold Jewelry

Ka Gold Jewelry features the work of designer David Weitzman. He released his first design, the Merkaba pendant, in 1998 as a symbol of healing and protection. David has continued to created dozens of jewels designed to inspire positive changes in people’s lives. As an avid nature lover, with a passion for both plants and animals, he uses symbols from nature in his work. The Flower of Life pendant is a beautiful, geometric design that contains a secret shape known as the fruit of life. I love the silver Mobius ring which represents the inner divine self. One of the most interesting designs, in my opinion, is The Butterfly Effect pendant. The butterfly effect is one of the terms related to the Chaos theory as coined by Edward Lorenz a meteorologist who discovered chaotic behavior in differential equations. See, Ka Gold Jewelry is not only beautiful, but also educational!
