WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
Did you know that humans have been wearing jewelry for centuries ? Remnants have been found at nearly all pre-historic sites indicating that the act of adorning oneself is as old as we are . The ancient Greeks made reference to their belief in the metaphysical and healing properties of crystals , the Sumerians used crystals in magical formulas , and Egyptians understood that their stones would protect them and their dead , and help them heal .
The earliest civilizations definitely understood the power in using Jewelry as a way to align to the mysterious forces of the Universe . Later civilizations continued to use adornment as a way to express adoration , commitment , wealth , and status . In our contemporary times , we have used jewelry as powerful symbols to unite groups , and often use it as a way to stand out in a crowd and show our individual and unique style as a way to feel confidence and security .
