Handmaking jewelry is new for me and has opened up a creative outlet that had been blocked for some time. Each piece I create has a very special meaning or feeling I want to share with you.

My jewelry truly comes alive when you wear it; just looking at it on my website simply does it no justice! The stones and semi-precious gems I have chosen in my jewelry not only look beautiful but also have symbolic healing properties.

• tourmaline - dispels fear and grief (fuschia, light and dark green and blue)
• iolite - expands psychic talents (dark blue)
• garnet - brings creativity to fruition (dark red)
• amethyst - helps business prosper (lavender and purple)
• carnelian - encourages unity (orange)
• chalcedony - negates hostility (bluish-purple)
• citrine - soothes family relations (yellow)
• rose quartz - sharpens the wits and enhances romance (pink)
• chrysoprase - promotes emotional balance (green or blue)
• peridot - encourages assertiveness (bright green)
• kyanite - protects during altered states (blue/grayish)
• labradorite - slows aging (grayish-blue)
• amazonite - enhances trust (bright blue)
• turquoise - assists in absorption of nutrients
• apatite - strengthens the heart (bright blue)
• fluorite - aids mental healing - (purple, green and pink)
• chrysocolla - eases fear or anxiety (blue-green-looks like turquoise)
• aquamarine - arouses feelings of sympathy, trust, harmony and friendship. (light blue)

It is my honor to help each and every one of you feel stronger, happier and more in balance. This is my gift to you...

Sincerely,
Chris Ward
