Found pebble necklace with silver and gold elements

STONES ARE SACRED THINGS

They speak of our connection with the earth as well as our connection to the divine.

I collect stones when they capture my gaze and talk to me.

I am fascinated by nature's abundance and stunning beauty which we enhance with jewellery techniques that are as old as the stones themselves.

Along with stones I collect words and feelings and enjoy furthering the story of a crystal or a found object with poetry or a reflection from another cultural tradition.

One symbol which crosses cultures is the Bell, symbolising the contact between Heaven and Earth in Tibet.  Yet to me 'they are the reminders of the angels of our lives.'

I collect stones when they capture my gaze and talk to me.
