Medium: Jewelry
Rainbow Journey Gems – Specializing in creating handcrafted custom jewelry for harmony and well-being. Working as a independent artist I personally hand craft each piece of jewelry with various hand tools using a technique called wire wrapping. Using extraordinarily tarnish resistant, anti-oxidant, anti-firescale argentium sterling silver I encase rare and precious gemstones, minerals and fossils into one of a kind unique pieces of jewelry. I wire wrap everything from fluorite and malachite to more rare stones like larimar and hemimorhoite. I have been mining crystals and minerals for 15 years and have been creating this medium of healing wearable artwork for eleven years. On each piece I list the stones origin, carat weight and healing properties of that particular stone. I enjoy bringing these stones to all who enjoy their beauty as well as healing properties. All pieces are made with love and positive intention.
***I wrote and recorded the song, it called love on by Divine Journey Music/Steve Harkey, Im the same guy who wrapped the pendants, you can check out more of my music and wraps at rainbowjourneygems.com
