CRYSTALS, UNICORNS & MERMAIDS TALES...
Let’s be honest here...I may have been called a crazy crystal lady in my time, and perhaps I am a little bit obsessed, BUT.. In my defence, there is only about a million years of history and healing qualities in these stunning babies, so I'll stand by my obsession with pride.
The latest Dfly range, 'She Became The Light’, is what I believe to be the perfect fusion of fashion and the magical healing qualities of naturally formed crystals. You know, basically having your fashion cake and eating it too.
To begin any collection, I usually start with my current semi-precious stone and crystal crushes and work back from there to create the most creative way to showcase these natural treasures in pieces that also push the boundaries in terms of design.
The latest range does just that….clean, elegant designs that glimmer with base metals of rose gold and sterling silver, whilst highlighting the natural raw and polished beauty of nature.
The individual nature of the stones results in a bespoke piece that can never be replicated, and that’s just the way I like it.
I love the idea of each piece being individual, and every happy damsel receiving a keep forever style that will be individual to them.
Is it getting too 'chakra chakra' to suggest that I believe everyone is drawn to the stones they purchase for a reason? Hmm… maybe I’ll just keep that thought tucked away with my knowledge that mermaids are real for now…
I’ve complied below a cheat sheet of the incredible healing qualities of each feature stone and crystal used in this collection, which I find both inspiring and soothing… Remember, these have been created over sometimes thousands of years in natures own workshop...
Clear Quartz is known as the "master healer" and will amplify energy and thought, as well as the effect of other crystals.
It absorbs, stores, releases and regulates energy whilst balancing and revitalising the physical, emotional and spiritual planes.
Moonstone is a stone of new beginnings, inner growth and believed to be strongly connected with the moon. It enhances intuition, soothes instability and stress whilst stabilising emotions and providing calmness.
Howlite has an extremely calming energy and can be used to relieve anxiety, tension and intense emotions. It is said to be able to quiet the mind, reducing fretful thoughts and help you to relax in preparation for sleep or meditation.
The Herkimer Diamond is a stone of release and relaxation. It helps to clear the mind/body of unconscious fears and repressions, allowing for a complete and total relaxation and expansion of life energy.
And if you're not a believer? No drama, because with or without the magic behind the stones, they are still amazing covetable pieces to lose yourself in.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go walk my unicorn…
