Island
Isolation, independence, refuge
Jewelry
Value, identity, relationships
Island
Islands represent isolation, self-sufficiency, and refuge from the overwhelming 'ocean' of emotions or life demands. A tropical island paradise suggests a desire for escape and rest. A deserted island reflects loneliness and self-reliance. An island you can't leave represents feeling trapped in isolation. Islands also represent the conscious self surrounded by the vast unconscious (the sea).
Jewelry
Jewelry represents self-worth, personal adornment, and the value you place on yourself and your relationships. Rings specifically relate to commitment and relationships. Necklaces suggest what you display publicly. Hidden jewelry indicates private values. Losing jewelry reflects fear of losing something precious — a relationship, identity, or self-worth. Inherited jewelry connects to family legacy.
