Greetings, Gifted Reader.

One of the many ways we can
heal through Nature is by wearing Her natural elements in bracelets, necklaces,
rings and other jewelry. Hanging a string of healing beads around our necks can
benefit us greatly whether we have issues with verbal expression or just a sore
throat.
This week, we offer our
readers Trinket and Things by Lisa.
A creative jewelry designer living in the Pacific Northwest, Lisa is an
incredible metaphysician with amazing psychic skills, too. Her line of healing
jewelry can be viewed on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/llakeydesigns
or search for Trinket and Things by Lisa.
Q: Lisa, how did you become
interested in making jewelry?
A: I was invited to a beading party in 2003. Friends
from work were getting together to make necklaces for Nurses Week. They were
focusing on making employee ID tags so the nursing staff would have a nice
necklace to wear that week at a local hospital in North Seattle. As I
gathered the different feelings, shapes and colors of the beads within my
fingers, my natural talent for this art overflowed within my heart. I was
creating color combinations that no one else thought of. Before I knew it, I
was making three long ID tag necklaces next to all the other co-workers that
were working on their one necklace. They all seemed amazed by my designing
skills.
It started as a hobby. I
went to the local library and read every single book I could get my hands on
that dealt with designing jewelry. I wanted to learn more about the
history of jewelry making; what types of tools and findings, strings, wires and
chains I needed to use to create more designs that were exploding within my
dreams; and, every single shape, size, color of all beads created out of
healing stones, gems, sterling silver, gold filled, crystals and freshwater
pearls.

Q: How long have you been
making jewelry?
A: I am self-taught, and
have been designing jewelry for seven years now, mostly for friends and
family on birthdays, special occasions and holidays. They enjoy my simple,
but sometimes very detailed, mix of colors that I use in my designs.
Q: How can jewelry heal
people?
A: Healing stones are known
to bring healing properties to the wearer who wears them. I use a lot of rose
quartz lately in my designs. Rose quartz is a symbol of unconditional love. It
opens up your Crown and Heart Chakras. It’s a calming stone and used to reduce
stress and tension. Astrological signs associated with rose quartz
are Aries, Taurus, Virgo and Libra. So, anyone who is born under
those Astrology signs will feel the benefit of this stone more so than
others.
Blue lace agate is another
beautiful healing stone I have used in my work. It helps to soothe and
open up self-expression. It aids to speak the truth and release your
fears. It can aid with headaches, digestive issues or arthritis. It’s
associated with your Third Eye and Throat Chakra. Astrological signs Gemini and
Pisces are the rulers of this stone.

Snowflake obsidian is
another stone I enjoy working with, too. It can provide balance during
times of change and aids in seeing patterns in your life and recreating a more
positive view. It gives protection from physical and emotional harm, and
aids with your veins, skeleton, and soft smooth skin. It’s associated with
the Crown and Heart Chakras. Astrological sign Gemini is the ruler of this
stone.
I love to use, hematite,
too. It’s used to ground yourself when you’re feeling scattered, and to
increase your energy levels and bring joy to your life. It’s another stone
associated with the Heart Chakra. Astrological signs Taurus, Cancer and
Aquarius are the rulers of this beautiful, black silvery stone.
Q: Where can the public buy
your jewelry?
A: Presently, I’m using
Facebook to market my wire-wrapped healing stones. My page is called Trinket
and Things by Lisa. The public
can message, or call me directly since I have listed this information in the
About section of my page. I’m planning to sell my jewelry through a
marketplace for handmade gifts by the end of January.

Q: Is there anything else
you’d like to add?
A: I’ve been told that my
healing stones are a talisman to some. I create my designs through my
Heart Chakra, and this is where I find my best designs are created from. I
also enjoy working with hand-blown fused glass art and making Victorian
designs.
Namaste, Lisa.
