I was so excited when
Sarika reached out to me from her jewelry label
Together by Gravity based out of Newport Beach, CA. She designs the most exquisite earrings, necklaces, rings, and men and women's beaded bracelets made from precious and semi-precious stones, wood, diamonds, 18k gold, and sterling sliver; all
inspired by ocean and earth's natural beauty,
Sarika's Indian heritage and travels, with the most important aspect of her brand being that she gives a portion of her sales to support
children's education in rural India. Since the company started less than a year ago in April 2014,
Sarika has already been able to support 260 children allowing them to attend school for an entire year. Why
Together by Gravity? The method of how a star is formed -- when the force of GRAVITY pulling in on the cloud is greater than the strength of internal pressure pushing out, the cloud collapses into a star. Sarika designed my very own three-bracelet set including onyx and peridot (my birthstone) beads, and she even included the meanings which wrote in a sweet hand written note. Also see how I styled the bracelets below!
Onyx: a stone for inner strength; it is worn to defend against negativity that is directed at you
Peridot: a stone of balance; worn to show compassion and uplift energy of all kinds

I got to interview bracelet designer Deanna of KYSS (Keep Your Soul Sweet) Bracelets awhile back and during that interview also got to co-design a bracelet set with her. That bracelet set is available for purchase on her recently launched ETSY site! I wanted a set that was neutral with a pop up color (my favorite color: aqua), and here's what she came up with. I styled a casual outfit around our bracelet set, here are the details:
