Grounding Jewelry

Staying upright when everything moves

Grounding yourself, in the symbolic sense, means keeping a link with the concrete: your habits, your commitments, the ground under your feet. Often dark and dense, the stones in this selection are tied to that stability. They don’t settle anything for you, but their weight in the hand is a reminder that you can move forward without rushing.

Onyx and red jasper

Onyx, a solid black, speaks of perseverance and discipline: the importance of small steps and of choices you stick to over time. Red jasper, the color of terracotta, evokes patience and steadiness, for whatever you build slowly, knowing that moving forward and running are not the same thing.

Smoky quartz and hematite

Smoky quartz, a transparent brown or gray, is tied to the concrete and the present moment: working with what’s here, today. Hematite, an almost silvery gray, is seen as solid support, good for taking a clear look at your wishes and at how to make room for them in daily life.

Understated pieces, often unisex

Black, gray, or brown, these pieces go with everything and can be worn by a man just as well as by a woman. A bracelet of matte beads slips under a sleeve, a dark pendant goes unnoticed on a shirt. A gift for someone going through a time of change: a fixed point to keep on you.
