I started researching stones to learn their qualities and properties. I put together a piece on crystals that I have enclosed with every necklace. I look for specific stones that are just the right size and still in their raw, most natural state — that aren’t really shaped, cut or polished. I designed a setting that allows the crystal to lie right on the chest as freely as possible in its setting. I then learned that setting the stones in 18 kt gold helps amplify their vibrations most readily and, voila, my 18 karat gold “Feel Good” necklace came to life!
