Lithotherapy is a practice that uses stones and crystals to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

This practice is based on the idea that stones like amethyst, quartz, citrine, aventurine and many others have energetic properties that can positively influence the body, mind and soul. These properties are specific depending on the color of the stone, its mineral composition and its crystal structure.

It is important to note that lithotherapy is not scientifically recognized. However, some people find comfort and subjective benefits from using crystals and stones as part of their personal wellness practices.

Here are some benefits often associated with wearing natural stone jewelry:

1. Energy balance: Natural stones can help balance the body's energies by acting on the energy centers (chakras). Each stone is associated with specific energetic properties.
2. Emotional well-being: Stones are attributed with calming, soothing or energizing properties. Jewelry made from stones such as amethyst (calming) or citrine (energizing) can be seen as a way to positively influence one's emotional state.
3. Energy protection: Certain natural stones, such as tiger's eye, labradorite or black tourmaline, can act as energy shields, protecting against negative energies.
4. Spiritual development: Lithotherapy jewelry can, on a daily basis, promote spiritual development by facilitating meditation, concentration and inner connection.
5. Personal aesthetic: In addition to the energetic aspects, natural stone jewelry can add a unique touch to an outfit while providing a symbolic connection to nature.

The choice of a lithotherapy stone can be based on several personal factors. Here are some tips to help you select a stone that matches your needs and preferences:

1. Listen to your intuition: Trust your intuition. Sometimes a particular stone will catch your eye or bring you a feeling of well-being. This may be a sign that this stone resonates with your energies.
2. Identify your needs: Determine what aspects of your life you want to improve. If you need calm and relaxation, stones like amethyst or labradorite might be suitable. If you are looking for energy and motivation, stones like citrine or aventurine might be more suitable.
3. Learn the Properties of Stones: Become familiar with the energetic properties associated with different stones. You can choose a stone depending on what you are looking for.
4. Test multiple stones: Try different stones to see how they affect you. Some people react differently to various stones, and experimenting can help you determine which ones are best for you.
5. Consider aesthetics: Choose stones that appeal to you aesthetically. If you appreciate the beauty of the stone, it can contribute to a more positive connection.

As a young woman passionate about artisanal creation, I make each piece of jewelry by hand in the North of France in Lille.

When making my jewelry, I strive to choose each stone carefully, taking into account both its aesthetic beauty and its lithotherapy properties. Each creation is unique, handcrafted in an artisanal way, with love and attention to bring a meaningful experience to those who wear them.

I am proud to say that my jewelry is made in France, and each piece reflects my commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
