Initial sketch after dream about a design of a pearl “moon” with a halo off dancing gemstone stars
After focusing my attention on the crystal energy of earth’s mineral gemstones for my creations, I’m adding a beautiful, relaxing path in my metaphysical garden — Pearls. I had a dream, which was so vivid that I woke up before dawn, grabbed my sketchbook and drew out the design that had been given to me. It was simple, playful and yet elegant. The sketch reminded me of a big full moon with stars dancing around it, and so it is named the Pearly Moon ~ Dancing Stars collection.
Until now, I’ve incorporated pearls into my designs, but I’ve mainly used them as accents, not the stars. And yet I’ve really enjoyed the feeling they bring as I work with them and they always seem to raise the sophistication level of a piece when they’re included, so I was excited to start this journey to see where this dream vision would lead.
Before beginning down this path I wanted to learn more about pearls. I sourced a variety of different types of pearls so I could become more familiar with their energy first hand. I also began a nice deep dive into the fascinating world of pearls – the types, the origins, the shapes, colors and sizes, and of course, their metaphysical properties.
Pearls are believed to give a sense of calmness and to promote faith, loyalty, truth and purity. Pearls invigorate the Sacral, Heart and Crown Chakras. They have been used in many cultures to help women connect with their “inner goddesses” and obtain the ultimate feminine energy. In Eastern religions the pearl celebrates wisdom and enhances connection with the divine. They invite introspection and relaxation, which you can surely feel as you hold a single pearl or caress a string of pearls. And pearls are the birthstone for those born in June.
Thus began the new Bon Chance collection — Pearly Moon ~ Dancing Stars. It’s a lively effervescent energy that instills an uplifting vibe and is so versatile it works with a silk dress or jeans and a casual top. Each Pearl is accented with beautiful micro-faceted gemstones that dance like stars around the pearly moons.
