STRONG WOMEN Wrap Bracelet

This triple wrap bracelet is hand made with mixed metals, vegan suede, semi-precious stones, and our signature hand-stamped sterling silver charm. Charm reads "Strong Women: may we know them, may we raise them, may we be them." Each of the strong women stones are also included in their piece in the collection.

This bracelet can also be worn as a necklace. The inspiration for this collection came from finding strength along my own journey of becoming a breast cancer survivor. Not only did I realize my own strength + of those around me, but also the importance of inspiring that strength in others. Each of these stones and charms were individually picked to represent + capture the essence of femininity + strength. The healing qualities of crystals have always been incorporated into our everyday lives, and we wanted a way for women to harvest their energy everyday through jewelry.

BUDDHA BOARD

Buddha Board is inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment. You simply 'paint' on the surface with water and your creation will come to life in bold design. Then, as the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear leaving you with a clean slate, ready to create a whole new masterpiece.

Watch the video HERE to see how they work.

Master the art of letting go... Buddha Board is environmentally friendly - no ink, no paint, no chemicals - and will last for years with proper care. Simply add half an inch of clean water to the tray of your Original Buddha Board, gently place the board into the notches of the water tray, and dip your bamboo brush in the water.
