At the end of the day, what is most central to a rich life is the ability to look in the mirror and love what you see. Not in a shallow sort of way but in a “wow, I’ve overcome, I’ve loved, I’ve hurt, and I’m here… whole and open” kind of way. This is a stone of self compassion, forgiveness, and love. Something we could all use more of…
 
Ethically sourced Rhodonite set in sterling silver with fine silver bezel. Hung from a sterling chain.
 
All my pieces are individually handmade from natural stones and recycled metals. No two items are alike, and they will all have natural imperfections. These imperfections imbue the work with unique personality, grit, and story – the stuff of character. 
 
Stone jewelry shouldn’t be worn in water or exposed to chemicals (soaps, lotions, detergents). I like to think of stones as living things (on much different time scales than the ones we are accustomed to). To extend their lives, we need to limit their exposure water and other chemicals/liquids.
