I have been collecting unique gemstones for a while now, and I'm always inspired to create some one-of-a-kind designs with them. By now, you know that the craft Jewellery scene is completely saturated and because of this, I've had to work extra hard to create pieces that are truly unique.
The challenge is awesome but I struggle with my original designs being recreated by others in the field. It's not an entirely bad thing though, as this can mean that my work is an inspiration for some. That's a really great honour! 
It just means I have to always 'up' my game and be always aware of what's going on around me. Thankfully, I believe that anything can inspire me, so my creations are un-stoppable. My inspiration can come from music, art, the renaissance, nature, anything... But I will admit that my high point for my creativity is my Gem Journeys and Gem Hunts. I am a hoarder, I know, but oh the Gems! I think I'm just fascinated to be surrounded by the Earth and all that it can create and hold. I mean, when you look at an Agate, or better yet, a Crystal Geode, you can't help but marvel at the creation! Did you know that Geodes are created in the soil. Imagine an animal burrow or where tree roots have stretched beneath the earth, Geodes are formed! They are also formed in the bubbles of volcanic rock! For me, that's just AWESOME! A Geode which is completely filled with Crystals is called a 'nodule'.
So this is what makes my day now, these are the simplicities that makes my Gem Hunts incredible. I love new finds... No wait... I should have told the truth. I am obsessed with new finds! I have yet so many still to unpack from previous hunts. And I have so many Gem Journey travels yet to embark upon. I anxiously await my vacation from school to go on my Gem expeditions. I so look forward to sharing all my great finds with you here in my Jewel Diary. I hope you fall in love with rocks like me!
The Jewellery on my site is made with a vast array of Gemstones.
If an item is sold out or you prefer a different stone, I may be able to recreate the look in your favorite colours. Please don't hesitate to ask.
So my Very Important Friends, stay tuned to this blog section where I will bring you stories and discoveries of my Gem Journeys. I hope you find them as exciting as I do!
xoxo
Crystal Love & Blessings
