Sacred Moon Art and Gemstones
While I have been making jewelry since I was a teenager, it was not until about eight years ago that my real Love affair with gemstones began. It’s a passionate Love affair, recently rekindled, birthing creations which go far beyond wearable art. I tune into the gemstones, which speak to me, allowing me to intuit the current need of the wearer. It’s not that I didn’t know of the power of gemstones, or my own abilities to read energy, but when synergistically blended, the pieces I am making are felt by the wearer in remarkable ways. It’s Wonderful to witness.
I am calling myself lucky to have a piece of Antonia’s jewelry. Her choice of colors is exquisite. They feel organic and happy and subtle at the same time. She combines different beads, pearls and crystals very tastefully, with a sense that brings out a specific energy of each piece. The shapes she chooses are very flattering and feminine with just a touch of royalty. Not least to say, her craftsmanship is of great quality and mine feels great to wear.

Early on in my jewelry making, I found myself working with seed beads. I was fascinated with the beautiful creations I could make using the tiniest forms, inspired also by the wide palette of colours from which to choose. What fun! After some experimentation, I came up with what came to be known as my Goddess Necklaces, in which I utilize a netting stitch, and which I accent with Swarovski crystals or a wide range of pearls. Later I realized that I could greatly add value to the lives of my clients by allowing them to experience the health benefits rendered by specific stones, adding another deeper dimension to the beauty and aesthetics they were already enjoying.
Antonia Hall‘s work goes far beyond the dimensions of ‘jewelry,’ and even ‘wearable art.’ Antonia clearly has her heart in the pulse of the gemstones themselves – the power they emanate, the transformation they can bring to both the wearer and the beholder. Antonia has the eye and signature style of a true artist – taking color, form, shape and pattern into every detail of her consideration. But clearly her focus is on the benefit and the value of the gems themselves – she lets them sing the song.

I created the Goddess Bracelet as the perfect embodiment of utilizing gemstone properties in a way which can best benefit it’s wearer. I joke that Wonder Woman’s wrist bands have nothing on the Goddess Bracelet and from the responses I have been getting, people are finding this to be very true. I recommend to clients who choose to simply wear one Goddess Bracelet that they place that bracelet on their left wrist, which is the receiving hand. They will assist you in your current life process and situation. They come in varying colours and forms, depending upon the person for whom it is made. If, for example, you are needing to get grounded, centered balanced and confident, the colours are more than likely going to be an Earthy mixture of browns and greens, utilizing such stones as Tigereye, Black Onyx, Smokey Quartz, or Agate. Perhaps you need the stone of success: Citrine, which aids in self-confidence, personal power and what no longer serves you. I have noticed that many have been needing the protection and insight Obsidian can bring, but as it’s message can be a bit intense, so I prefer to use Snowflake Obsidian, which is gentler, especially when mixed with Rose Quartz (self-Love). Or perhaps it is passionate, Loving devotion you need, in which case, Garnet is probably right for you. It will help form a bridge between yourself and the outside world, protecting you while also motivating you to be more productive and creative. Whatever the need, for both men and womyn, there are gemstones perfect for you.
Antonia’s jewelry is beautifully executed, and artfully conceived. She brings her own aesthetic to beads and materials come to life in her hands. Her creations are sure to evoke compliments and add interest to any wardrobe.
