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.
Thanks, Bianca!

  1. Thanks so much for the kind comments! Writing the poems for the healing yoga necklaces was a fun challenge because each verse needed to combine the relevant 'healing' properties of that stone while maintaining the rhyme scheme.

    I look forward to contributing to many more healing yoga jewelry pieces.
