We create sacred spiritual jewelry by researching ancient myths, creating modern narratives in metal with precious and semi precious stones and secret island finds.

Utilizing locally sourced secret island finds such as wood beads, blessing beads (Job's tears seed bead), red coral wood seeds and Story and Myth pendant and charm characters to empower and inspire through story.


Our modern narratives are our Pendant & Charm Characters:

OneHeart: We are one.
DragonLady: A powerful woman.
Butterfly Woman: Transformation.
Dragonfly Girl: Fearless and Free.
The Multi-Goddess: Nurturer and Warrior.



Secret Island Finds:

Job's tears seed bead we call them blessing beads they are named after Job in the Bible and provide blessings of Peace, Goodwill and Protection. They are of the earth, they come polished and with a hole, they grow similar to corn and are used as a food source and medicine in Asia. The beads are tear shaped and they feel like porcelain or pearls when tapped against the teeth. We string 108 beads for our necklaces or Malas ( prayer beads).

Xamayca Wood Beads:
Xamayca is the Taino word for Jamaica it means Land of Wood and Water. The Taino were the first inhabitants of the island. The wood beads are hand carved and have a Jamaican mahogany wood stain finish.

Red Coral Wood:
Red coral wood seeds are a bright red seed which grows in a pod similar to the tamarind plant. Each red seed is hand drilled and strung into a wrist mala/ and or bracelet where we attach tassels, charms, and or pendants.

Ganesha

Remover of Obstacles:

  Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles patron of arts and sciences, He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as Patron of Letters during writing sessions. In Kundalini Yoga Ganesha resides in the first chakra, called Muladhara, Mula means original, main and Adhara means base, foundation.  The Ganesha shown was from my travels to Sri Lanka I have placed a Blessing Bead Mala on him made from job's tears seed beads with a hemp tassel which reminds me of the brooms that are made here in Jamaica.  The  brooms came in different sizes all with the task of removing dust, dirt, cobwebs whatever you didn't want.

May we receive all that we have worked hard at all these years this year!, and may nothing come in your way.
