I have always loved jewellery, now I have the opportunity to share with you some of the most beautiful pieces; handcrafted using high quality metal materials. Semi precious or precious gemstones, which are artisanal mining, a sustainable and ethical source gems, allowing the landscape and ecosystem to recover after the extraction. All our pieces are very unique designs.
I am based in Kent and I have always collected signature and unusual jewellery. During this difficult period of the pandemic, I decided to open my little online shop so people have the opportunity to own beautiful pieces of jewellery at very good prices. My pieces are made with a fine 925 Sterling Silver or Stainless Steal base with luxurious overlay of precious metals like 18K Gold ( Yellow - Rose - White) Platinum or Rhodium, to give a sumptuous sheen and durability to all the pieces. I love gemstones, they produce a very unique and special touch to the piece of jewellery, giving a unique colour and sparkle to them. The Precious or Semi precious gemstones used in my jewellery are sustainable and ethically source, using artisanal mining techniques, to allow the landscape to recover again after the extraction of the stones.
About Gemstones: Scientifically, all gems are crystals. This includes diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, to name few. Gemstones crystals form through a variety of methods determined by the type of rock they are found in and what minerals are present. For example, gemstones found un igneous rock (volcanic or magmatic) are formed as the mineral in lava cool and bind together. The length of time these minerals take cool and their chemical composition determines the type of gem that forms such diamonds, moonstones or amethysts. Gemstones found in sedimentary rock start their formation on the planet's surface and in the present of water. As the mineral and organic matter submerged in water dissolve, they sink into the rock beneath the body of water and settle together in fissures or cracks in the rock. Over time, the pressures beneath the earth compress these minerals into gems such as zircon, opal and malachite. Lastly, when pre-existing rocks and minerals deep within the earth's crust experience both high pressure and extreme heat, they form new composites, This intense pressure/heat combo of metamorphic rock produce gems like emeralds, rubies and jade. But it's not only the minerals that make up the structure of the crystal that are important, impurities in the formation of the crystal also determine its colour. Example, in the amethyst iron impurities give its characteristic purple hue.
Healing Properties of the Crystals: Crystals healing proponents believe that crystals and gemstones have properties that facilitate healing. Many allege that the history of this practice is ancient, dating back at least 6,000 years to the time of the ancient. Sumerians of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egyptians are being among the first people to have adorned themselves with crystals, including Lapis Lazuli, Carnelian and Turquoise to ward off illness and negative energy.
But the philosophy of the modern crystal healing is based on traditional concepts borrowed from Asian cultures, most notably the Chinese concept of life-energy (chi or qi) and the Hindu or Buddhist concept of chakras, which are vortices of this life energy, said to connect the physical and supernatural elements of the body. According to these philosophies, crystals are supposed to interact with energy field of the body, promoting physical, emotional and spiritual healing. And to mention some examples of crystals healing properties are: Amethyst is believe by some to be beneficial for the intestines, Green Aventurine helps the heart, Yellow Topaz provides mental clarity. Colours red through violet are associated with seven chakras points on the body.
