Gemstone Wisdom

We hand pick each gem or mineral we use for our jewellery and only choose pieces that have something really amazing about them ; rainbows in Quartz or the formations may be quite rare, like twin or crossed points, or are  etched.  We source from  ethical suppliers and also polish some pieces ourselves.  The  information about crystals that we  share is not intended to replace medical advice but rather compliment. Great reading for further information are books  ‘The Crystal Bible’ series by Judy Hall and the most amazing book – that’s out of print – but a real gem if you can find it,  ‘Love is in the Earth’ by Melody. These have been our references.

Crystals have been used for thousands of years for adornment and healing.  Ancient civilizations like the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians and  Greeks used crystals as catalysts to relieve dis-ease.    In our modern world people who are attracted to gems and minerals already feel the influence that some crystals can have.  The best approach when finding a crystal to wear is to go with instinct or intuition when choosing.  Sometimes the right crystal just finds you at the right time.  When a crystal has served its purpose or maybe it’s not the right time, it will leave you or you may just lose it until it’s the right time.
