Turquoise is a stone of high regard to Native Americans and has been used extensively in jewellery, beadwork and pottery

Navajo and Zuni Native Americans believe turquoise to encourage rain. They would throw the stone into the river whilst praying to the spirits

Metaphysically healing vibes for bringing calm to our minds, helping lethargy and easing depression with it’s peaceful energies. It may ease respiratory problems and allergies

It is believed to bring good luck, protection and is a talisman to be worn when creativity and ambition are needed

Symbolic of good fortune, it also holds protective energies to its keeper

These are a total must haves, they’re designed for everyday wear, are lightweight and may be worn in the water. Just be mindful of the crystal type, as particular stones may be affected over time! Certain crystals do not like any water. We don’t recommend swimming in pools or the ocean. The brass can handle it, the crystal cant!

As with copper certain wearers may develop a green tinge on their skin, this is harmless and a natural characteristic, it washes away. I usually turn my brass a little dull after multiple wears so I give it a wash with “Earth Choice dishwashing detergent and warm water.

If the weather causes oxidisation or you haven’t cleaned yours for a while, my favourite go to is lemon juice. Avoid the crystal at all costs! Soak the brass in juice and it will be shiny and glistening after around 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and it’s ready to wear.

So what’s so good about brass you ask?

• it’s protective. In medieval times they used brass symbols in the belief they would ward off evil spirits and bad energy
• the golden hue connects with father sun energy which brings wealth, abundance and happiness
• boosts our energy for positivity, reducing stress and helping us focus.
