Long before gems were 'jewelry', they were amulets - imbued with mysterious powers and worn for protection, healing, courage, and love for as long as we've worn anything at all. Pharaohs were entombed with them, armored for strength in the afterlife. The Greeks & Romans, ever practical and pantheon-minded, carried them into both battle and bed. And really - why argue with a pharaoh?

What follows is a grimoire of the stones I work with: where they come from, the myths they carry, and the powers people have heeded for centuries.

I make no promises about your love life. But the lore is real, the stones are rarer still, and there's a reason we've never stopped reaching for them.

Choose one, and go down the rabbit hole.
