A part of of our Crayola Bomb Peace Jewelry series inspired by the Robert Fulghum quotation:
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air, explode softly, and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth, boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either, not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixtyfour, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.

Joyful Citrine Gemstone Spiritual Jewelry


I adore Citrine. Just looking at it makes me feel happy. Of course, part of that has to do with yellow being one of my favorite colors. Shown above are very vintage looking Moon Goddess handcrafted earrings. Antiqued brass moon goddess charms dangle freely from vintage brass earring finding. They're accented with fabulous, large, faceted golden yellow Citrine round beads
Citrine is a quartz and obtains its color from traces of iron. Colors range from lemon yellow to golden brown and can be transparent. Citrine can be artificially created by heating amethyst or smoky quartz, though truly the results of this process should be called gold topaz.

It’s name comes from the Latin “citrus,” which means lemon. Used since ancient times, Caesar’s soldiers wore citrine on their chest because it was believed to have life-saving properties in battle. Today it can be found in Brazil, the United States, Russia, Madagascar, Spain and France.

Citrine is said to have a detoxifying effect on the metabolism and to strengthen the immune system. It promotes physical activity which improves digestion. The purer and more intense the color, the greater the stone’s healing properties.

Citrine is known as the stone of light, sun, and life. It symbolizes individuality and confidence. Citrine helps us to analyze events and take them in a positive direction. Harness and utilize your creative energy with Citrine. With zodiacal affinity with Virgo, Citrine is also an important stone for Gemini and Leo.

Our KIVA Loan Repaid!

How wonderful it is to say that our KIVA loan has been repaid in full by Victor, a weaver in Ayacucho, Peru

Victor is a member of the Confianza (Trust) Village Bank. He is 30 years old and lives with his girlfriend and their daughter. Victor and his brothers own a workshop where they make weavings on a loom. They then sell their weavings in a local market. Victor has been working as an artisan for 14 years. Victor requested a loan of 1000 soles to buy wool and dyes for his weavings, as well as to buy new heddles for his looms, since they need to be replaced periodically and his have gotten worn out. Victor's goal for the future is to export his work to sell. He may be able to do this through FINCA Peru Exports, a branch of FINCA that works with artisans to sell their work internationally.
