A highly specialized, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based resins. Formulated with plant-based, bio-derived and waste-stream materials, it contains more than 30% renewable content. Material sources include soy, pine, or cashew nut shell liquids. Jewelry-grade bio-epoxy offers high clarity, low toxicity, and excellent durability, making it a preferred choice for crafting sustainable heritage quality art, while reducing reliance on petroleum-based products. VOC free. Crystal-clear finish with a high-gloss, glass-like sheen. Superior non-yellowing (UV resistant) properties, tensile strength, adhesive properties, and impact resistance, compared to traditional petroleum-based epoxies. Includes HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) to prevent yellowing. Waterproof.

Bio-epoxy is seen as a preservation and amplification binder for the properties of the natural elements it's bonded to. It acts as a 'lock' holding these energies steady, while preserving and grounding them.

A durable metal for daily wear comprised primarily of iron mixed with chromium (13-30%), nickel to reduce brittleness, and molybdenum to increase corrosion resistance. The chromium oxide outer layer is self-healing, and repairs itself if scratched, preventing long-term corrosion. Depending on the grade and treatment, it can be slightly magnetic.
Surgical steel can come in a wide variety of colors. Some colors are formed by heat oxidization (blue/purple), while others are formed by other hypoallergenic metal deposits as a vapor coating (physical vapor deposition), and still others are created from immersion in a chemical bath forming an oxide layer. These processes ensure the pigment Is integrated into the surface, not merely painted on.

As a 'self-healing' metal, surgical steel is associated with protection, healing and grounding. Viewed as a symbol of resilience, endurance and ability to recover. In many metaphysical traditions it is considered an energy shield, suitable for keeping one's energy field and aura intact, especially during difficult times.

A golden-bronze silicon dioxide, whose color is caused by iron inclusions. This variety of quartz, often called the 'merchants stone' or 'success stone' for its association with wealth and prosperity, has a hexagonal prism system that allows many fire inclusions and rainbows. This increases its desirability for jewelry, as well as its association with prosperity and optimism. Natural citrine is rare. Most commercially available citrine is heat-treated amethyst.

Known for boosting confidence and joy. Unlike clear quartz, citrine self-charges and doesn't wear-out or need cleaning/recharging. Citrine encourages optimism, positivity and motivation while alleviating fear and anxiety.
