Birthstones
I love working with stones and crystals and realized I should make more of a conscious effort to source and design pieces with Birthstones in mind. These make such great and thoughtful gifts! The internet shows so many stone options for Birthstones and Zodiacs, it's hard to weed through what is accurate. I'm just doing the best I can with what makes sense for us and the stones I like to work with and what I'm drawn to as well as what's beautiful, accessible and affordable. Many designs have multiple Birthstone options. If there's something of mine that you'd like to customize with your Birthstone, just let us know! 

January - Garnet
Capricorn Season is Dec 22nd - Jan 19th,  Aquarius Season is Jan 20th - Feb18th

With associations to the heart, blood, inner fire, and life force, garnets have long been considered symbols of love. Garnet symbolism also extends to friendship. They're said to revitalize, purify and balance energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate. Garnet balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony. It activates and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope. See the January Garnet Collection

October Opal Collection

With its unique pearlescent luster, opal is an instantly recognizable gemstone. In a distinctive class of its own. Displaying a mesmerizing kaleidoscopic range of rainbow-like hues that play across its surface, it is not surprising that the opal has long been believed to possess supernatural powers. Many scholars believe that the opal gets its name from the Latin ‘opalus’ which itself is possibly derived from the Ancient Greek ‘opallius’ which means color changing. However, others maintain that opal takes its name from the Sanskrit ‘upala’ which means precious stone or jewel. The spiritual meaning of opal is that of hope, purity and truth. In Ancient times, it was believed that opal possessed all the virtues of the gemstones whose colors flicker within it, and thus opal earned its reputation as the ‘Queen of Gems’.

Turquoise is perhaps the oldest decorative stone in our history, worn amongst Kings and Queens, Shamans, and Warriors. It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch.
