Get your purple on, as September is Chiari Malformation Awareness Month. Ever heard of it? If not, now's your chance.

This condition causes a wide variety of symptoms - or none at all - it varies by person. However, there could be devastating repercussions if not detected. Spread awareness by sporting this purple ribbon Extension of Me chain on your purse or backpack. And get educated by checking out conquerchiari.org for more information.

My favorite crystals are Swarovski crystals. An array of colors and cuts allow this crystal to enhance the beauty of any jewelry piece. My favorite projects are to make Extensions of Me chains - or earrings - using Swarovski birthstone crystals. It gives the piece such meaning and makes a great gift!

Fancy Jasper is sometimes known as Green Jasper. Although it's comprised of many colors, it's most rare when it forms a single green color. It ranges from pale green to a deep olive green. It's been traced back to ancient times, used to soothe the spirit, banish ghosts, increase fertility and bring in rain. It's also used to restore harmony to the body and is known as the ultimate sleep stone. This natural stone makes for beautiful jewelry pieces - especially necklaces and earrings.

Picture Jasper - my second favorite stone - is commonly referred to as the "Stone of Global Awareness" because of its deep connection with the Earth. Found in volcanic rocks and widely used in meditation, people are helped to connect with the Earth's grounding energies. A Picture Jasper stone is full of "landscape patterns" with each stone telling a visual story. A multitude of creations are made with this stone - with cluster drop earrings being my favorite. Interested in a creation made with these stones? Contact me!

My favorite stone, Ocean Jasper, acquired its name as it resembles the waves and ripples of water. Mined in Madagascar, this stone was first discovered along the shoreline, originally accessible only at low tide. Although no two stones are identical, I match up closely resembled stones to make an array of jewelry products, including earrings, bracelets, necklaces, barefoot sandals and Extensions of Me chains.
