Heal and Protect
These stunning chandelier earrings are made up of three separate stones: amethyst, charoite, and clear quartz. Amethyst promotes calm, balance, and peace. It is used in meditation to increase psychic power and can protect against psychic attacks. Charoite is considered a power stone that turns negative energies such as anger and fear into positive energies. Quartz channels energy and enhances thinking. It is also used in healing and protection.



Fun Fact: Quartz is the most common stone in the world and comes in a huge number of colors and varieties.

Boost and Balance Your Self-Confidence
The rhodochrosite in these dangle earrings brings self-confidence. It promotes a sense of realism and balance in life, and it will help resolve issues carried over from past lives. The sense of balance conveyed by rhodochrosite will lead to a sense of happiness and relief from stress.



Fun Fact: The Incas revered rhodochrosite because they believed it contained the blood of their kings and queens.

Inspire Creativity
Both the chrysoprase and the fluorite in this statement necklace are thought to boost creativity. In addition, chrysoprase promotes the ability to use that creativity, as well as hope and courage. Fluorite facilitates focus and clarity of mind, and it is said to enhance the power of other stones.


Fun Fact: Chrysoprase is thought to heal symptoms as varied as eye problems, fertility issues, and mental illness.

Bring Love [is] All Around
Rose quartz and garnet pair to bring love, joy, and hope into your life. Sometimes called the "love stone," rose quartz promotes all kinds of love, from romantic love to self-love. In addition to promoting love, garnet also is used for regeneration and reenergizing. Both of these stones promote self-confidence as well.


Fun Fact: Opaque garnets are sometimes utilized in manufacturing for anything from sandblasting to filtration to abrasives. 

Find Your Lucky Day
