UNEARTHEN

Unearthen jewelry is a modern mystic's dream come true, an alchemical marriage of opposites: vintage bullet casings that once had to power to destroy now hold healing crystals. Just looking at them makes me feel better! If you go to the Unearthen website, you can click on the crystals to get a description of the healing properties of each crystal. Each necklace is carefully packaged in a glass vial and wooden box with a pamphlet outlining the properties of the crystal, care instructions, and cleansing salt to remove negative energy from the crystal. Available at Bona Drag!

"It is possible that most Unearthen pieces have already chosen their bearers. The uniting of the crystal and empty bullet creates a powerful opposition, causing old dreams and new beginnings to fall upon its bearer. For this reason, the stone with the right properties for your needs will inherently attract you. Each crystal carries distinct properties. Its aims may be to clear your mind, focus your heart on goals you struggle to achieve, provide comfort in difficult times, or simply remind you of the balance between destruction and creation. Please choose your Unearthen piece with care."

"Gia Bahm, creator of Unearthen, selects the crystals and bullets according to the histories, qualities, and sizes of the materials. She is a collector, an aestheticist, a creator, and a destructor… much like all of us who are constantly perplexed by the forces of nature and humankind. She lives and works in New York City, balancing her life between wardrobe styling and jewelry design, between summer nights in the woods and winter days on the streets."
