Stones And Their Benefits

STONES AND THEIR BENEFITS

We love working with the stones and creating pieces that we know will benefit those who wear them.

Our aim with our creation of jewelry is not only to touch people with a sense of beauty but to bring awareness to the wearer. We have extensively researched the stones we use and have added our own experience to our wisdom about them, and we have discovered that each stone has a story to tell and a subtle energy to generate in the lives of those who use them. 

If one is sensitive to the stone and the energy it holds, each stone will offer a healing and mood-enhancing benefit that can enrich the life of each individual who wears it.

This is what Carola says about the Healing Energies of Gemstones & Crystals

"One of the most powerful and enriching ways to move through areas of challenge and open the way to the life you wish for is to use the healing powers of gemstones. Each person has a highly individual birth chart corresponding to conditions in the heavens at the exact moment of your birth. There is also a specific set of gemstones that is related to your birth chart. It’s worth getting to know these stones and how they can be made to work for you.

If you are someone who is sensitive to beauty and energy, you will respond to these qualities in gemstones both intuitively and physically. You can immediately feel the impact of a gemstone on your energy field. You will feel even a small gemstone brought into your energy field as strengthening or weakening. This is the basis of healing with gemstones and energy medicine. Simply by wearing a favorable gemstone on your body you are able to influence your energy field in ways that you choose intentionally.

The trick is to discover exactly which gemstones, among the dozens of beautiful choices, are the most powerful healers for you and which can best support you with your specific personal challenges and goals".
