Vital Jewelry by Dr. Candida Schwartz, N.D.

I love stones. They have offered me so much strength, clarity and comfort throughout the years. I also love jewelry. It just really makes me feel pretty.  I started with holding stones in my bra (true story and I still do) over my heart while I was in med school. Then I found my power ring I still use today in session and wear daily. I wore a special necklace when I took my board exams for guidance, grounding and protection.

After I graduated from med school, I started studying each stone and its therapeutic properties. They naturally started showing up in sessions. Clients enjoyed learning about them.  I place my stones in salt to cleanse them then lay them outside under the Full Moon allowing the moonlight to energize them. I began making necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I would tune into the stones and the metals of the piece, connect with the earth and metal elements. It has been very therapeutic for me, my patients and clients. I decided to start sharing my practice privately and through my shop.

Enjoy the stones and the healing they offer. Allow them to bring out your natural beauty and radiance as they integrate healing and balance into your life!
