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!
