PositiveButterfly

I started making purse, key ring, and mask charms to give as gifts to friends and family as a fun, creative project to keep me busy at home. I was encouraged by everyone who saw the charms to set up a shop and start selling.
Every stone is unique and beautiful, combining them with silver, crystal, or glass beads and charms makes a pretty and personal decoration that has special meaning. As I learned more about the meanings and properties associated with different gemstones, I wanted to pass on that knowledge and spread a little positive energy...
