Real Stones

So, I like to use real stone beads (and metal beads too)! 

I use to create bracelets using glass or plastic beads. What can I say, I liked the colors! However, after a few bracelet making failures (one time, a bracelet fell apart as I was putting it on one of my client's hand), I was done with those beads. Now, I use real stones. I believe that it adds to the overall value of the bracelet and to the wearer's experience. Nothing like creating and wearing something that comes from the Earth, formed thousands of years ago. 

Now, I don't get into channeling energies or any thing like that, but I do believe in science, physics, and the personal experience. For example, some people like the heft of certain stone beads, or they like the color combo. Magnetic beads MAY do something for you, or not. The important thing for me is that the client likes the look and feel of my products.

'til next time. Keep upgrading.
