Today Beadsaholic brings a review of a few stones from Stick and Stones!

In the last few weeks I received a few Sticks and Stones and I must say I am very impressed! The stones are rather unique in design, some have unique facets, and some are matte finish which really add to the design and a bracelet. Stones have been collected throughout history and many have found wearing stones beneficial. Many of our ancestors used stones to promote health and calmness. Whether you believe in the energies of stones or not, I think you all will agree there is such natural beauty in wearing nature’s art!

I’m also including a video of the stones in natural outdoor lighting. It’s evening and basically cloudy, but with indoor and outdoor photos along with this video it should give you an idea of how these stones look in different lighting.

I thought the moonstone and matte hematite would be perfect in a space theme and goes rather well with Ohm Beads UFO, Luna, Redbalifrog Star Stoppers on a Trollbeads Twisted bangle.

Sticks and Stones Sodalite and Hematite goes really well with Trollbeads Wisdom, seen here is also Trollbeads Three Flowers, and Trinity on a Trollbeads Twisted bangles with Redbalifrog Star Stoppers.

The Matte Amazonite Wheels are my favorite. I love the matte finish and what they bring to a composition. Here I’ve used the Sticks and Stones Matte Amazonite Wheels, Amazonite faceted, and Chrysoprase, Along with Trollbeads Daisy, Apple Blossoms and Redbalifrog Frangipani Stoppers on a Trollbeads Twisted Bangle.

The Sticks and Stones Hematite go really well with the Ohm Beads Stony and Rawr Glass seen here in this magical composition with Ohm Beads My Precious Skat too, Magic Frog, Dirty Magic, and Luna on a Trollbeads Foxtail bracelet with the Savoy Knot Lock.
