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. 

Vision Boards: Manifesting

Exactly a year ago I attempted a vision board, I glued somethings on but did write this one thing: "famous jewelry brand Story and Myth" -the jewelry has become conscious and spiritual in that year and uses locally sourced beads and seeds and secret island finds from Jamaica, it caught the eye of the founder of the Caribbean Yoga Conference Kimberly Moon, who saw Sharon Feanny owner of Shakti Yoga wearing one of the blessing bead malas.   The VIP presenters at the conference will be getting Story and Myth malas/ prayer beads made from locally sourced blessing beads.

Eat Pray Love Jewelry Collection

Traveling 1/2 way around the world I found myself upon my return home whole.  I was in the former colony known as Ceylon.  It was there in that magical place of elephants and temples that I would fall in love with a place and  people.  And see gems of the earth in all the colours  you could imagine.  There was the orange robes of the Buddhist monks, the smell of incense, lemongrass and sandalwood.  Wonderful fresh meals, high tea, time, time enjoyed with new friends, swimming in the Indian Ocean feeling her power and knowing it was a direct connection back home to  the Caribbean Sea.  I am finding that peace again here in the West Indies through yoga and meditation.  And I am happy that universal consciousness is here.  While here I went in search for some cool secret island finds.  The EatPrayLove Jewelry Collection uses red coral wood, dark mahogany wood stain beads, job's tears, bronze pendants and charms, semi-precious stones and handmade tassels in the colours of travel.  It is my interpretation of that spiritual journey here.

Workshops at The Wortley Home

I will be meeting with the girls of the Wortley Home tomorrow in Kingston for a workshop using the arts to nurture and empower these young women.  We will be researching histories hidden heroines and buried warrior queens through art based projects, such as beading, writing stories, costume making, painting and drawing.  Reverend Patricia Johnson from Church of the Good Shepherd says they need it.  My past experience with workshops was in Florida with the Gritty Girl camp. Tomorrow I will get to know the Wortley Home girls and learn from them and see and hear what they would like to do.
