In all my endeavours I use the name JewelBox.  In fact, I trademarked it in 2010.  I believe names hold a resonance and this one resonates with me very strongly, and I’ll tell you why. 

When I was born my initials were JEM and my Dad used to call me his little gem.  Awww that’s sweet!  I married quite young, the first time, and my initials stayed JEM even with my name change. Lucky!  JEM was my actual signature for much of my life.  Later on, I read Tarot through www.physic.com.au and I again used the name GEM.

In my early 30’s I remarried, and my surname became Wells.  I felt quite sad that I was no longer going to be JEM.  I remember the moment when I first wrote my name down and discovered that I had gone from JEM to Jewells.  It was a very cool moment! 

Later on, when I was deciding on my business name, I googled JewelBox one day and found the JewelBox Star Cluster.  This image cemented it all for me and JewelBox Art came into being.

The JewelBox is an amazing star constellation, and one I find especially beautiful.  I look at this picture and it makes me realize actually how small our world is within the vastness of the Universe.  This is what the Tarot illustrates – it shows a representation of worlds within worlds.  The Tarot images are a map of universal energy flows; the microcosm/ macrocosm.

Just bright enough to be seen from Earth with the naked eye, the Jewel Box was given its name by English astronomer John Herschel in the 1830’s, who thought the sparkling blue and red stars resembled a box of jewels. Like most open star clusters, the Jewel Box is made up of an array of sister stars, all formed from the same cloud of gas and dust with similar ages and chemical make-up. Located about 6,400 light-years away, near the Southern Cross in the constellation of Crux, the Jewel Box contains roughly 100 stars. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/10/jewel-box-stars/  accessed 2nd October 2011
