Here at Meaningful Charm we love meaningful things, and thats what our whole business is based on. From the meaning behind crystals to the meaning on backing cards. If its meaningful then you will find it here because its not just jewellery, its personal!
When I’m consider a new design, the root thought is always the meaning, its what starts the process, its the reason why and its the beginning of something beautiful . . .
From my first healing pieces that were born from my own issues with anxiety, stress and depression. I also suffer with migraines and anything that can help with them is always a plus. Then on to new ailments that friends suffer with like Fibromyalgia and MS and so on – the why was there all along, that was plain to see, I only needed to design my pieces around the meaning.
Following the Meaning
Before long I had a whole collection of healing jewellery that just sort of happened!
Crystals are the core to many of my jewellery pieces and their meaning speaks for itself. I may not use the most exotic or extravagant crystals but thats because there is no need. When you have brilliant Rose Quartz or fabulous Amethyst to call on, with meanings so comprehensive that they have many uses, why look elsewhere. I only seek out the crystals that do the job best for the piece I am creating. I’m not looking for what’s rare or more precious, for me its all about the meaning and the properties it brings, not its price tag or status.
I enjoy the research into the meaning behind crystals and completed a crystal healing course to better understand the crystals I am working with. The course gave me a better insight into the way they actually work and how to get the best from crystals. I will do a more in-depth post about how crystals work soon so keep your eyes peeled for that!
The Meaning of Life
With meaning being the backbone of Meaningful Charm we soon learned that there are countless ways to apply this to products even without using crystals. Thats when our ‘The Meaning of Life’ range was born. Jewellery and gifts aimed at life events with poems on the backing cards to add to the meaning for events like passing your driving test or moving into a new home. As time goes on and we get more requests from customers, more and more events have been added like retirement and having a baby. Now we have over 30 events covered and more are being added regularly. If you know of an event that we haven’t covered yet then please drop a comment below and we will be happy to add it to our ‘Meaning of Life’ range.
Behind the scenes
I have recently created a TikTok account to allow our customers to get a sneak peak of how products are created and some of the processes behind them. There is even some tutorials for DIY jewellery making if you want to try your hand at it. I am somewhat useless when it comes to social media so it’s a learning curve and will get better with time I hope.
