Frequently
Asked Questions
I
notice from your drawings that the gems are set with the flat
side touching the skin. I would prefer the gems to be facing
outside so that the jewelry looks more beautiful. Why do you
do it this way?
There
is no doubt the jewelry is more appealing with the gems touching
from the pointed side. There are many things that I do that
are not the best from an aesthetic standpoint. Primarily the
reason is that again and again my feedback from clients is
that they feel more well-being from the bangle when the gems
are set with the greatest available skin contact. Those that
have tried the gems both ways generally express increased well-being
when the gems have the table side down. From a crystal point
of view there isn't a top or bottom to most faceted gems. Naturally
if a client specifically wants the gems set face side out,
I will do it. As long as they at least know what my feedback
is. Again I would like to stress that my main focus is on an
instrument of negative karmic mitigation as well as enhancing
positive karmic tendencies. It's not just jewelry. It is because
of this that I have not got side tracked by making bangles
with the smaller gems that one sees so often in India which,
by comparison, I feel do very little.
