Journal
Welcome to the Journal—an intimate space for the stories behind The Art of Ceremony.
Here you’ll find reflections on craft, stone, and design-led ritual: the making of our jewelry, the materials we return to, and the quiet moments that shape what we create. Ceremonial luxury for real life—lived in detail.
Gemstones for Anxiety: 5 Healing Crystals to Bring You Back to Calm
Anxiety can show up in many ways — sometimes a gentle hum, sometimes a restless tide. In those moments, I find comfort in turning to the earth. Gemstones are more than adornment to me — they’re anchors, reminders to pause, breathe, and come back to myself.
In this week’s journal, I share the five crystals I reach for most often when I need calm: Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, Rainbow Moonstone, Smoky Quartz, and Citrine. Each one carries its own medicine — from Amethyst’s soothing presence to Black Tourmaline’s protective shield. I’ll show you how to use them in daily rituals, and you’ll also find ways to bring them into your own life through pocket rocks, Motoring Stones, and jewelry from our Earth pillar.
You’re invited to explore these stones not as cures, but as companions — touchstones to guide you back to your own breath, your own light, your own calm.
