Growing up I was always surrounded by beautiful silver  creations of my  "Uncle " Ludwig Wolpert.  He was an amazingly talented silversmith that  married my grandmother after my real grandfather passed away. before i came along.   I remember being dropped off at his workshop and watching him work. It was his unique style that inspired me   to develop  my unique  style. 

Everything is made up of energy . We all interact with energies differently. Stones have unique energies that can react to ours. .

.Trust what stone  you feel you are  drawn to.
