Meraki Jems

Meraki Jems was conceptualized and created out of my respect for the healing arts and sacred symbols. With a vision to express beauty and healing at the same time - I use narratives found in everyday life and transform these teachings into jewelry. My extensive gemstone collection is the fruition of careful and contemplative selection from gemstone markets and mineral shows from around the world. I strive to provide an exquisite selection of individually hand- picked stones for customers who have an allure for the beauty of organic forms as well as an appreciation for their energy. When I began working with stones - I explored alternative stone-setting techniques. Although I appreciate the beauty of metal gem settings, my goal, from the beginning, was to offer something unique. Seeking a design that felt lighter, earthier and organic brought me to the art of macramé. Each piece is designed by hand - with much care and attention to detail. Macramé is a soul healing art - a meditative process and a bridge between ancient art and modern style.
