The fertillity jewelry at World Peace Jewelry is composed of gemstones and symbol charms or pendants which are believed by some to have metaphysical and natural healing properties which encourage fertility, healthy pregnancy and childbirth. 

Does fertility jewelry work?  Here's a message we received from one of our customers:
Just wanted to let you know I purchased the Raku Fertility Goddess Bracelet and 2 months later was pregnant after trying for almost a year. It is also beautiful so I love wearing it! Thank you for making beautiful pieces!  Dolores



Here some of the symbols we use most frequently;  some may surprise you.
  • Frog - symbolizes good luck, abundance, transformation, and fertility.  The Egyptians saw frogs as symbols of life and fertility and they worshiped the frog Goddess Heget.  Greeks and Romans saw frogs as symbols of fertility and harmony.  Frogs assisted their Goddess Aphrodite.
  • Goddess - symbolize fertility, love and the female body; the female deities who promoted fertility and watched over pregnancy and birth in many ancient civilizations. Fertility Goddess statues and carvings were often placed near a couples bed to the fertility goddess to work in their favour.
  • Grapes and Wine - Symbolic of fertility, joy, intoxication, healing and youthfulness. As wine, they represent the alchemical process of infusing the creative spirit into matter, and are used in the sacred rites of many civilizations, representing the presence of the Divine Spirit on earth. Symbolizing the Blood of Life, wine is offered as a libation to many gods, but is especially sacred to Pan.
    Grapes are symbolic of good luck. Though they are not easily distinguished from vines they do appear in heraldry occasionally.
  • Heart - a universal symbol of love, unity, connection and compassion
  • Kokopelli - worshiped for centuries as the god of fertility and childbirth.  A symbol of rebirth and growth which honors renewal and the cycle of life.
  • Lotus - symbolizes purity and enlightenment;  birth and rebirth.  A symbol for fertility and creation.
  • Moon - a traditional symbol of femininity, women, and fertility. In many older civilizations, the moon was represented by a female goddess, or the moon was taken care of by a female goddess
  • Rabbit - symbolizes fertility, love and good luck
  • Star - symbolizes wishes and good portents (as in the old custom of wishing on a falling star)
  • Sun - symbolizes awareness.  Often used to represent the god (as opposed to goddess).  Combined with the moon - symbolizes duality;  equal balance between male and female.
