The
great
mythical
Turul
Falcon
is
one
of
the
most
important
symbols of the
Magyar. It represents the power and will of god. Turul
is the bird of
the origin myth of the Magyars who sits
on top of the Tree of Life along with the other
spirits of unborn
children in the form birds. Torgul or turgul
means peregrine
falcon. In Asian legend the Turul brings the
priesthood first to the
woman Emesh and her son by causing her to be fertile.
They and their
descendants are the first priests (KHAM), who can read
the will of god
from the heavens and stars. The Turul is also the
symbol of the house
of Atilla as well as the Árpád dynasty kings of
Hungary.

Overlay
is a specialized technique used to handcraft
individual pieces of
jewelry. To begin with, the design is pierced out
of a metal
sheet, which is then fused, soldered or riveted to
a previously stamped
second sheet of metal. Additional details
are crafted in by hand
and then the finish work completes the creation.
Overlay examples
can be found as early as the 5th century BCE, when
overlay was
preferably riveted together, instead of the two
sheets being
fused/soldered.
Our
overlay is done
using two layers
of heavy gauge Sterling Silver (unless otherwise
requested). We usually
finish these pieces with a mirror like surface,
but also offer a more
modern brushed look.
Many custom designs are easily converted into
overlay cut-outs. Please
inquire! Overlay Shields can also be turned into
Brooches or Pendants!
