Over the last year or so I have started incorporating semi precious gemstones and crystals into my designs.
These stones have become more than just the injection of colour I originally sought them out for, but impart meaning and aspiration to support you to live the life you want and express meaning through your jewels.
Below follows information regarding the stones and their meanings – gems that I have incorporated into my One-Of-A-Kind designs.
