Often we find ourselves drawn to a piece of jewelry for reasons we cannot place; it is an almost mystical phenomenon. Jewelry holds a magic and a wonder over us that we cannot explain. It may be something about the way the piece sparkles, the color, how it sits playfully or tantalizingly from our necks, ears, or wrists. How often have we sat in girlish giddiness admiring our mother’s or grandmother’s shining treasures? The stones and colors we choose say something about ourselves. Jewelry, like any piece of clothing, tells a story; and the druzy stone, as one of the hottest trends this season, has quite the story to tell.

First a little science lesson. The term “druzy” refers to the tiny but beautiful crystals that form over a colorful mineral rock. Ground water carrying what is known as silica will rush over porous areas of a stone, and as this rapidly cools it forms the stunning crystal that we know and love. As a result, the druzy stone is also known as “The Stone of Stardust” or “Fairy Dust.” Pretty cool, huh? No wonder we’re captivated by it! Color choice, of course, carries meaning all its own, and due to the relative softness of the crystal, it can form over almost any mineral and be cut into any shape in bright, vibrant colors. Even more captivating, depending on the mineral the druzy forms on, the druzy stone is said to have mystical properties. It possesses powers that bring tranquility and peace to the spirit, protection, creativity, love, and even business success. The druzy stone is even said to have the power to heal, and has been used to help with ulcers and arthritis.  That’s a pretty magical stone!

Here Brittany is outside the Michiana Family YMCA wearing our new cold-shoulder top by Fifteen Twenty, boyfriend jeans by Kut from the Kloth, tree scarf by Blue Pacific and our new tassled booties by Bos & Co.

So wear stardust around your neck. Wear fairy dust in your ears. Tell your story through the druzy’s color and mineral properties. Cultivate the magic of the druzy stone!

We hope that we inspired you!!!
