For many years making jewelry was a way to relax and express myself. Now, making beautiful pieces of jewelry is a way to supplement my income while doing something I love.
Most of the pieces featured in my shop are from Bella Mia's Collection, named after my Persian cat, Bella Mia. This collection is embodies femininity and elegance with a touch of 'something' unusual. I have another small collection called The Zen Collection. This collection was inspired by my meditation practice. I wanted to create pieces with spiritual meaning. I use silk string and small natural stones known for their chakra healing properties. I also like to collaborate individually with clients, so if there is a particular stone, deity, angel, spiritual symbol, or object you'd like to wear as a piece of jewelry don't hesitate to send me a message.
Chakras are the energy centers of our subtle body. Most of us have what I call "dormant" or blocked energy centers. Each chakra is associated with a particular color and stone.
Using the appropriate stone for a problematic chakra has great physical and emotional benefits (please refer to the guide below). For example, rose quartz is great for the heart chakra. Simpy meditating with a piece of rose quartz over your heart every day can be very beneficial. This is were custom jewelry comes into play. Sometimes we gravitate toward a particular stone and there is a good reason for that. There are properties in the stone itself that are healing to us. At the same time, I am not promoting the use of natural stones for curing any disease. Feel free to consult if you'd like to collaborate on a custom piece with your favorite stones.
I love what I do and making great pieces of jewelry is something I take pride in. I hope every piece I create coveys that message.
