Tons of new singles in the store this weekend, and here’s a few of our favorites 🤩. (Scroll left for individual pictures)

- The most adorable, hand carved, Rhyolite teddy bears! These are old stock that I happened upon and they’re already a huge hit. So unique!

- Lampwork glass berries! When I was growing up, we had a huge blackberry bush that grew the best berries. These sweet little beads remind me of those summer days 💜.

- Viking compass pendants in natural gemstone! So much detail, and a great variety of stones.

- Lastly, by enormous demand, our super popular tarot card pendants in silver color! You have begged us for these and they’re finally available. Limited quantities for right now, so don’t wait too long if you’ve been needed one 😉.

Happy August Birthday Post!
Did you know August has 3 birthstones? Peridot, Spinel and Sardonyx !

Peridot 💚 is a bright lime/yellow green stone prized in Egypt, Greece and Rome for over 2,000 years. Energetically linked to Courage, generosity and abundance.

Spinel 🩷 is a durable and multicolored gemstone of magnesium aluminum oxide which was historically mistaken for Ruby. Known to bring the wearer vitality, inspiration and hope.

Sardonyx 🤎 is a red/brown/white banded stone used in ancient carved cameos and rings. Also worn in battle for strength, stability and protection.

The strands pictured are all currently available in the store so come on down to Old Town and take a look!

We are open from 11-6pm on Fri/sat/sun and weekdays from 11 to 5pm. See you soon!

Check out these amazing new Kyanite discs that just arrived! I have never seen such a spectacular example of one of our favorite stones. Did you know that Kyanite also occurs naturally in green as well as the teal and blue? These strands have been expertly arranged in a color melt to die for. The ultimate summer strands!

We just had a massive restock of our gemstone rondelles! We specialize in natural gemstone, which can be a little hard these days with all of the dyed jades flooding the market. They’re not bad (some can be so beautifully vibrant), but I’m a little old-school 😉. Come on in and check them out!

Gorgeous new indigo gem kyanite has arrived! Only two strands available of these dreamy blues. They are far more saturated in person, it’s so hard to truly capture their color.

We’re open 11-6 today, so come on by!
