Myth & Meaning
Wellness and gemstone therapy traditions reassign the rondelle's function from structural to symbolic: spacers are chosen for the attributed properties of their specific stone material and positioned within strands where each element, including the spacer, contributes to the piece's overall energetic or symbolic intention. The rondelle retains its physical role as an interval element but loses its neutrality; in these traditions, no element in a carefully composed strand is without meaning.
