Earlier this month, after we’d sent the latest issue of Anthology to the printer, several of us took little vacations. I spent a week near Las Vegas with family. It was my first time in that area, and the highlight of trip wasn’t The Strip, but majestic Red Rock Canyon. We spent several afternoons exploring, and I was mesmerized by the diversity of colors and textures in the rocks. Since I’ve been back home, I’ve found myself seeking out beautiful rocks, which explains my current fixation with jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche’s Rocks & Minerals collection.
Jacquie’s work is influenced by her heritage—her mother is American Indian and her father is Egyptian. In other pieces, you can easily see her father’s Egyptian influence, but this particular collection focuses on gorgeous geodes and minerals “which are all reminiscent of the Native American jewelry of [her] mother’s heritage.”
It would be like a mini escape to carry one of these around with you all day to gaze at.

I love your blog and the jewellery made with crystals are amazing! You know that you being drawn to different colours and crystals can give you some deep insight. I am a colour therapist so hence my interest in colour and crystals. Colourfully, Marcia
