"The circle is a primary form that carries deep, multilayered symbolism in all religions and cultures,” says art jeweler Malgosia Kalinska. “It revolves around infinity, the absolute, internal harmony, and spiritual elements. Often it describes perfection, complete unity and great hollowness at the same time. For me it symbolizes the constant renewal of life that emerges from dying nature. The shape of each living cell contains curvatures that originate from the circle."
