The Ukrainian tryzub is an important symbol of Ukrainian culture and history. "Tryzub" means "trident" and consists of three points, usually placed on the same horizontal plane and pointing in different directions.
The origin of the tryzub dates back to ancient times and it has been used in various forms in Ukraine for thousands of years. The symbol has been part of Ukrainian folklore and has also appeared on many historical coats of arms and flags.
Tryzub has many meanings and symbolic interpretations. Firstly, it symbolises independence, courage and strength. In the history of the Ukrainian people, the symbol has served as a form of expression of national identity. It has also been associated with Ukrainian pride and national self-esteem.
Secondly, tryzub can also refer to the trinity associated with Christianity. Ukraine has a long Christian tradition, and tryzub can reflect the concept of the Trinity in the form of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Thirdly, tryzub can have historical meanings. It has been used as a symbol of Ukrainian state and military organisations in different periods. It can also symbolise liberation and the struggle against oppression.
It is important to note that the meaning of tryzub can vary between individuals and groups, and its interpretation can also depend on the historical and political context. However, for Ukrainians, tryzub is a strong and recognised symbol that represents their culture and identity.
Is surgical steel a good material?
Surgical steel is a popular material for jewellery because it is durable and lasts a lifetime. The steel itself does not wear in use, but the coatings on it, such as gold plating (14K or 18K) or other metallic coatings, can wear over time. The amount of wear and tear is influenced by the way the jewellery is worn and the PH of the wearer's skin, which is individual.
The durability of gold plating and other coatings varies; they generally hold up well to wear, but are not as long-lasting as the surgical steel itself. In particular, copper coatings can wear more quickly than steel coatings. Surgical steel can also be safely used in the shower or sauna, which makes it more comfortable to use. However, to prevent wear and tear and to ensure the longevity of your jewellery, it is important to be aware of your own usage habits and skin characteristics.
