PLEXUS SOLAIRE COLLECTION

Plexus Solaire Statement:

My latest collection, Plexus Solaire, and its accompanying art installation celebrate the radiant and empowering energy of the solar plexus chakra. This chakra is believed to be associated with certain emotional and spiritual states and is located in the third chakra in some Eastern spiritual traditions. It is associated with personal power, confidence, willpower, and self-esteem.

The solar plexus chakra is commonly represented by shapes that embody the energy and qualities of the chakra. For example, the upward-pointing triangle represents the energy rising up from the lower chakras and culminating in the solar plexus, while the circle represents wholeness, completeness, and unity. My logo pairs these two shapes.

I craft my handmade pieces with intention and imbue them with positive energy. My goal is to create jewelry that is not only beautiful but also meaningful, reminding the wearer of their inherent power and encouraging them to embrace their individuality. In my design process, I am guided by my own spiritual journey and seek to infuse my creations with a sense of magic and whimsy. I believe that jewelry can be a powerful tool for self-expression and personal transformation, and I am honored to create pieces that help people connect with their inner light.

The core of my artistic practice revolves around hand weaving, a technique that I consistently use throughout my work, ranging from the most intricate to the most minimalist pieces. Hand weaving holds a deep connection to my ancestral roots, and I view it as a crucial element in my creative process. My dedication to refining my weaving skills is unwavering as I aim to achieve a level of mastery that is as close to perfection as possible.

Using a combination of white topaz, diamonds, gold, quartz, and pearls, I have crafted pieces that complement the spiritual and energetic profiles of the solar plexus chakra and embody its empowering and transformative essence. White topaz is known for its purifying and cleansing properties, while diamonds and gold symbolize strength, courage, and abundance. Diamonds and quartz, with their high vibrations, amplify and enhance the energy of the solar plexus, creating a powerful and uplifting effect.

The moon has also influenced my collection with its spiritual and symbolic meanings. My jewelry is designed to keep the energy of the solar plexus in balance, empowering the wearer to move with the ebb and flow of life, just as the moon governs the tides. With the Plexus Solaire collection, I invite you to embrace your inner strength and step boldly into your power.
