The word Imaginal comes from the incredible journey of the butterfly. Imaginal cells are responsible for transforming the caterpillar to a butterfly during the chrysalis stage. This journey of renewal inspired this line of jewelry pieces which have been created using vintage and repurposed beads and materials collected over the past 10 years.

Beads have been collected over time and are made of:

Amber - “Amber is not a stone or crystal, it is organic matter composed mainly of botanic resins... The Ancient Greek civilizations used to refer to Amber as “Elektron” which to them meant “Sun” or “electricity”... Unlike other healing stones, Amber will enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. When Amber is in direct physical contact with the human body it absorbs any negative energies and transmutes those energies into positive useable energy. It is a great antidote for the nervous or anxious individual, delivering a great sense of calm while enlivening the energy. It’s warm and sunny brightness is soothing to the mind and emotions whilst steadily energizing to the physical body. This stone also stimulates the art of manifestation through the solar plexus chakra. Amber keeps this chakra center running smoothly allowing us to bring our desires into reality with ease. It will also aid in the opening of the crown chakra and equally align energies in the physical, mental and emotional bodies.” The Crystal Council

Quartz - “Quartz is the strongest enhancing stone in the mineral kingdom and helps reignite our true identity while showing us the path towards enlightenment. It's clear energy acts as an amplifier of the vibrations that are put into it, making it an excellent manifestation tool... Quartz is a vacuum cleaner for diluted vibrations that may attach to your aura and become harmful.” - The Crystal Council

Lace Agate - “Lace Agate is a stone of transformation and chakra realignment. The banding of this Agate (and all of Agate’s) is an overlooked energetic addition to this stone. Banding is a sign of free flow in nature.” - The Crystal Council
