Jose Marín – Magicae Facinum (Magic Talisman) Necklace

Magicae Facinum (Magic Talisman)
“During the research and documentation phase to create a talismanic necklace that would be protective against the coronavirus, inspiration came when I first saw an image of the immunoglobulins that are the antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to attack antigens, such as bacteria, viruses, and allergens. The immunoglobulin molecule seen through the microscope is already a jewel in itself by the beauty of its forms.

This necklace symbolizes the fight between health and disease, if we observ the necklace is a chain formed by coronavirus and immunoglobulins. Coronavirus: represented by stones and silver with black rhodium, this symbolizes the disease. Immunoglobulin: 8-shaped pieces in silver with green and blue coating, this symbolizes health.

In the midst of this struggle appears our talisman that comes to put all its magic in favor of health. The talisman was enshrined in a ritual, at the moment I was engraving it with my own hands, in the Latin ‘Hoc Faciet Te Fers Inmunis’ (This Necklace Will Make You Immune)”
