Chakraluscious Beads and Bracelets by Barbara MacDoughall

I have a many-decades-long mixed-bag background in commercial, computer and print production, geological drafting and field work, journalism and fine art. Twelve years ago I turned a long-standing interest in sculpture — and rocks — into wearable kinetic art. I’m now into my 12th year selling custom and one-of-a-kind jewellery. Over this time my interests have evolved to include: dealing in genuine turquoise and rare semi-precious stones; studying the history and legends surrounding fetishes, skulls and artefacts; silver, gold and copper wire-weaving and hammering; and now studying crystal properties. I also teach jewellery-making.

I offer semi-precious and sterling silver, pewter, copper and plated metal skull, dragon, fetish/animal pendants (in other words, anything weird, rare or unusual), earrings and bracelets, as well as a growing selection of crystals, tumbled stones and fossils. Pendants are strung on adjustable leather cord, bracelets are made with easy-to-wear, high-quality stretch silicon, and earrings are all made with sterling silver ear wires.

CHAKRALUSCIOUS

Chakraluscious is my new line of crystal healing bracelets that are completely customisable, stackable, roll-on and clasp-free. I scour gem and mineral shows and the Internet to discover rare and hard-to-find beads such as selenite and Brazilian emerald to fine-tune these bracelets. I currently have over 250 different crystal beads and a selection of coloured lava diffuser/aromatherapy beads to choose from, with more beads added every month.
