To err is human – to forgive is divine.”
Two months ago I was requested to create a jewel that symbolizes forgiveness. I thought it was a great idea, since many people request jewels as presents for making up or as symbols of unity and love. Compassion and forgiveness are an inextricable part of oneness and love. I chose to use the dove as the perfect symbol of forgiveness, both because of the biblical story of Noah and the dove, that symbolizes forgiveness and peace, and also largely because the dove (or pigeon) was used from ancient times as a means of communication between people.
