A little about me

A few of years ago, my journey into the world of gemstones began with a simple desire: I wanted a Chakra bracelet that not only reminded me to live a balanced life but was also a beautiful piece of jewelry I could proudly wear. After searching and not finding what I envisioned, I decided to create my own. That decision sparked a deep passion—and, some might say, an addiction—for gemstones.

Starting Birch Lane Gems was a huge learning curve. While I always had a creative spark, I soon realized that making jewelry involved so much more than just design. I dove headfirst into understanding gemstones—their natural beauty, the importance of ethical sourcing, and the significance of high quality. My mission became clear: to create jewelry that not only looks stunning but also carries deep meaning and makes its wearer feel proud.

Like many small businesses, Birch Lane Gems started with support from friends. I designed pieces for them, listened to their feedback, and cherished their referrals. Before I knew it, I was doing my first market, where I discovered the joy of seeing customers try on my creations, feel their energy, and share their thoughts. The experience was exhilarating, and I was hooked.

What makes my jewelry different? It’s more than just the quality, beauty, and gemstones. Each piece is infused with Reiki energy, an essential part of my creative process. As a certified Reiki practitioner, I ensure that every bracelet, necklace, or ring is created with intention, focusing on the Chakras. My hope is that my jewelry will serve as a reminder to stay balanced, and for those who deeply connect with Chakras, it will resonate on an even deeper level.

I also believe in using materials that enhance both the beauty and functionality of each piece. My designs are accented with either stainless steel or sterling silver. Stainless steel is an excellent choice for anyone with metal allergies or for those who prefer low-maintenance jewelry that doesn’t require frequent polishing. Sterling silver, on the other hand, adds a classic, timeless elegance to my creations.

Nature plays a significant role in my life and work. Living in the country, surrounded by beautiful birch trees, I find endless inspiration and tranquility. All of my pieces are crafted in a calm, serene environment, reflecting my love for the simple things in life—like a walk in nature, time spent with family and friends, meditation, a beautiful sunrise or sunset, and, of course, a good cup of coffee in the morning (and maybe a nice glass of red wine in the evening).

Thank you for visiting Birch Lane Gems. I hope you find a jewelry piece that resonates with you, bringing beauty, balance, and a sense of peace into your life.
