healing yoga necklaces
I had the great privilege to design matching mother-daughter healing Yoga Necklaces for a client last week.
His wish was to bring together a selection of healing gemstones and to have a matching design for both pieces that included one stone that was cut in half and attached to each necklace. So, I designed a Mama and a Baby necklace (one was slightly larger and longer than the other).
He also wanted a description of the healing properties of each gemstone that I included. I took pictures of each gem and with the help of talented freelance writer, Bianca Bartz (http://www.biancabartz.com/), who brought life to each component with her rhyming descriptions, I managed to design a sparkling recipe for healing.
Here's a sample of her creative poetry:
A customized Yoga Necklace made just for you,
In natural shades like purple and blue.
The necklaces were made to match one another,
With one agate halved, for daughter and mother.
Sparkling Topaz in a shade of London Blue
Will aid your digestion and bring joy to you.
It will help drive out tension, boost relaxation,
It's a rock to guide you in self-realization.
Working with Bianca was a joy. Together, we created some one-of-a-kind magical jewellery designs that we plan on continuing to co-design in the future.

antler inspired necklace
I saw this beautiful necklace in NYC at ABC and was determined to gather some antlers during my last weekend stay in Banff and create my own version of antler jewellery. What I learned though was that the wild life in Banff around the Banff Springs Hotel is so dense that the second an antler hits the ground it is eaten by ants, mice and coyotes as they are a rich soure of calcium for all these critters. Also, I was in a national park and not allowed to gather antlers from the ground (that would have been considered poaching). So much for my plans...
I was lucky though...I met some friends who have a box of antlers in their garage and they have ever so kindly agreed to ship some of them out to me. Lucky am I!!!
