Garnet Talisman Wishbone Reserve Baltimore

Made in Baltimore by Become Spellbound. With red cord. 

Words from Kari, the maker:

“My goal is always to evoke the natural, unparalleled majesty we feel when gazing up at the stars: knowing we are all connected to everything that is.   

The drive to work with crystals began as a child and has evolved over time.  Taking a leap of faith in 2017, I left a successful career in the corporate world in Manhattan to begin creating full time.  My process is highly intuitive and influenced by nature, science fiction, and fantasy.  I drive to push boundaries and blur the lines between art and adornment. 

I feel deeply connected to every piece I craft, mindfully hand selecting each stone and letting it guide the creation process based on its energy, aesthetic, and inherent wisdom.”

Properties: Garnet symbolizes a quick return to a separated love, fertility and feminine life force. Legend states that Hades gifted a pomegranate to Persephone before she left his domain to ensure a speedy and safe return. When she did return, the fruit transformed into a handful of the red gemstones.

A garnet stone is often gifted to a loved one before they embark on travel. Garnets are commonly believed to aid in the healing of broken bonds of love. Garnets are also known to aid in the treatment of melancholy and depression by acting as a heart and blood stimulant.

Garnet is thought to be extremely beneficial in the realm of business. The stone can attract people to the wearer, which can help provide personal and business success. It is especially beneficial to people wanting to start home businesses.
