Karen Hill Tribe Silver
The Karen hill tribe in Thailand are the largest ethnic minority group, with an estimated population of around 1,000,000.
The Karen are renowned for their silversmithing skills, and famous for producing high quality silver beads and jewellery. This silver is purer that 925 sterling silver and is as ethical as it gets. We purchase our silver beads and findings directly from the Tribe, meaning the money from our purchases goes right back into their community.
We offer both Silver and Gold Vermeil (Hill Tribe silver with 24k gold coating) from Karen Hill Tribe.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz is one of the most powerful stones of protection. It is a strong detoxifier and removes negative or toxic energy from its surroundings. Smoky Quartz also carries a healing and grounding vibration, bringing a sense of balance and stability during times of stress.

Tourmaline in Quartz
Tourmaline Quartz combines the properties of Tourmaline and Clear Quartz Crystal. Tourmaline purifies ones own energies and protects from negativity, while Quartz amplifies energies focused through it. This combination makes Tourmaline Quartz a powerful shield-stone that, depending on the desired intent of the wearer, can amplify and return negative energy, like a mirror spell, or can convert the negative energy into positive energy for the wearer. An effective grounding stone, Tourmaline Quartz strengthens the body's energy field against external invasion and deflects detrimental environmental influences. It is often seen as a symbol of unity and is an effective problem solver. It eliminates crystallised patterns which are, or may have been, destructive in our own life and releases tensions at any level. Its liberating power against negative energy can be used to assist us to actualise the strength needed to alleviate negative or hostile relationships and situations.
