Uterus-Shaped Necklaces Are A Thing Now, And There’s A Strong Message Behind Them

ADVERTISEMENT

Ellen Rococo is a famous Ukrainian artist who has been worldwide recognized for her fascinating jewelry pieces.

She has been featured on this website before and Bored Panda plays a vital role in her artistic success.

Ellen is always experimenting and when she decided to make her first “Uterus necklace”, she wanted it to be an intriguing piece, which will raise different emotions in people and she herself didn’t quite know what kind of reactions to expect. She just wanted to show how magical and how important this part of the female’s body is and how she felt about it.

The uterus is a female reproductive organ which consists of a womb, ovaries, vagina and cervix. Its shape is quite definitive and very recognisable as well as in many different cultures uterus has a sacred meaning, it is a symbol of fertility, feminity and female energy. Every female deep in her heart and soul must feel that this part of her body bears the information of her ancestors, keeps her life force within strong and makes her feel valuable, magical, special.

Ellen was very surprised, that amongst her clients alongside with some feminist ladies, came midwives, new mothers, ladies that are trying for a baby, struggling to conceive or have lost their babies in the past or had a hysterectomy for different reasons.

Quickly these necklaces and this symbol became very valuable for her clients and she started to receive many orders. Ladies started to ask for different styles, because every woman, as Ellen later understood, had a special character, favourite colours and things, had something special about them and each one of them came with her own unique story. Before she would make a new piece she always interviewed each client and then would base this particular piece on the woman’s story.

Ellen: “This made me realize that every woman is so different and there is no rights or wrongs about what kind of emotions and feelings live in the heart of each one of us. This artistic experiment took me further than I expected, into a place where I was able to meet so many interesting and different ladies through my work as well as also to catch up with my own feminine side and to look deeper within my own heart. I do kindly suggest every lady out there to try and do the same. You never know what you will find inside yourself”.

    They are very beautiful. However: "Every female deep in her heart and soul must feel that this part of her body bears the information of her ancestors, keeps her life force within strong and makes her feel valuable, magical, special." - no xD At least not me XDD

    "The uterus is a female reproductive organ which consists of a womb, ovaries, vagina and cervix" Nope Bored Panda, you should know better. The uterus is just the womb. This is a "female reproductive system" necklace.

    Some are nice, but others look really tacky. Also, no matter what nonsensical spiritual feeling you get from an internal organ, they often just... aren't that nice to look at. The uterus is a weird shape, and I'd say that the long bottom part really throws off a lot of these pieces.

    "her body bears the information of her ancestors", well thats the point of both eggs and semen...However that makes it funny against feminists who glorify ladies, men and semen is then equally magical as the uterus and eggs, if it was only the female bearing the magical ingredients there would be either a weird form of natural cloning or "inbreeding" since no new genes would be put into the pool, which would ruin the genetic code.

    I can't wait to see men wearing a "pair of testicles shaped" necklace haha. I don't need to value my ovaries to feel happy about being a woman, in the end what matters to me is the kind of person I am, not my uterus.

    As a fan of the weird and unusual, I'm very into this and would totally wear it. I can see how people think its strange but you can't disagree that they're beautiful pieces of art!

    Why they always have to explain why the do things ? Show us your craft, period. I don't really care about the origin story.

    Because most artists have a concept behind their work? That's just how art generally works, nobody's required to read it if they don't want to.
