Hi Everyone and hope you're all well.
Sorry for the long delay. Shop has been busy, I've been trying to keep up with the uploads, but there's been a few other things distracting me.
First, Happy Equinox ! The day and night achieved their biannual balance so all is well there, and now the days get shorter. In more ancient times of course this was a more serious affair of ensuring survival through the coming winter. Now we've got Electrickery and Supermarkets. Nevertheless we are still looking at a time of introspection, a little more time for ourselves which I am looking forward to.

Hi Everyone and hope you're enjoying 2019 ! For me the aspects of creativity and freedom of expression are really coming through. I'm now taking 2 days off a week for the first time in decades to give me some space for that.
Valentine's day is looming closer, and it is of course a favourite day for the Heart.
A day to celebrate and acknowledge the love in your life.
A day also to celebrate your own Heart, to make sure you're giving as much to yourself as others.
Usually our Shop Window is overflowing with Pink, the colour of Love ~ but Laura just created a beautiful window featuring Amethy...
Hi Everyone and welcome to another New Year ~ my 32nd in the Crystal Heart !
It is time to think about the year to come ~ and make some plans. I always think you've got until Epiphany, the 12th night, after which the window closes.
Personally I no longer make resolutions ~ they're made to be broken !
As John Lennon famously said ~ Life's what's happening while you're making other plans.
Instead I've tried this year to make affirmations based on insights.
For example I've spent the last decade working 6~7 days a week on the basis that I can relax when I get to Thailand. This is not working a...
Hi Everyone ~ Hope you're all doing well and getting Christmas organised ! If there's any pressies left to buy, you know where to go ! Well, if you live here in Melbourne, as today we've past the last possible posting day.
Despite needing to be in the Shop to help out, I've still managed to upload some things. An amazing series of Azurite Malachite, really the most beautiful I've seen. Also a small range of jewellery inspired by the Art Work of the Fabulous Frida Kahlo ~ Mexico's most famous Artist. The more I read about her the more I love her ! A powerful woman who believed in herself an...
Hi Everyone hope is all going well and special commiserations to those experiencing wild weather over the last week. We had our own experience Friday Night ~ Thunderstorms, cloudburst, the rain so heavy it flooded the front of the shop. On one of our busiest nights of the year, half of our lights and EFTPOS were down. Happily I did lots of electronics at Uni so was able to isolate the damaged circuits and restore primary functions. Haha I remember changing a light bulb for mum when I was 7 yo. and sticking my finger into the socket just to see what electricity felt like. Maybe that was my f...
Sorry to shout, but hold on to your Reindeers, that silly season is here ! I've hardly been lazy the last few months but suddenly the red light is on and I've still got so much new Jewellery to share, so I've been madly uploading and this will continue.
Keep you eyes on the Latest Jewellery Uploads page, there's a lot of awesome and unique gems to come !
Of note, those beautiful Champagne Argyle Diamonds in 14 Kt Gold. I've never been a fan of Diamonds ~ there's too much hype about them ~ but these ones have Soul ~ and thanks to Paul's astute buying the prices are very reasonable.
There's a...
