#BondedForever Photo Inspiration of the Day Instagram
The beautiful gemstones in this display case served as a catalyst for Bonded Forever. During a staff meeting at Eviama Life Spa (I’m a part-time massage therapist), my boss, Penny, refreshed our memories about the spa’s Crystal Chakra Harmonizing service. She talked to us briefly about the beneficial healing powers of stones and educated us on some of the beautiful gemstones in her large collection. I had just found out that my mother had metastatic Colon Cancer several months ago and I became enraptured by the conversation. At the end of our meeting, Penny mentioned that she was going to a gemstone expo and asked if we had any requests. I quietly raised my hand and told her that I wanted to make my mother a special jewelry set for the Winter holidays and asked if she would kindly find some special beads for me.
After the meeting was over, I scoured through 5 different gemstone guide books and made a list of all of the stones that I thought would be beneficial for my mother. Penny was able to find a beautiful strand of flat oval citrine beads and a square pendant that contained Smoky Quartz, Smoky Amethyst, and Lepidocrocite at the expo. I was able to combine the citrine beads and the pendant with some faceted Smoky Quartz beads, glass seed beads, and silver spacers that I purchased at a bead store. The gift set that I ended up making for my Mother with all of those components put the entire design scheme for Bonded Forever into motion.*
*Please note that although I do not advertise the possible healing benefits of each of the semi-precious gemstones in Bonded Forever’s jewelry, I do put a lot of thought and effort into the specific gemstones that I choose to use in each design.
