Firstly, A Very Warm Welcome to TRaewyn Jewelry.
My name is Tina Raewyn, I am an Australian Artist who has been creating Clay & Gemstone Jewelry since 2011.
I have always collected little things such as feathers, bones, pretty stones and shells, but I first started working with Crystals and Gemstones back in 1995, I was working with a beautiful lady named Rosemary in her beach side shop called 'The Elestial Crystal Dreamtime'. The first thing Rosemary did when I started working for her, was hand me a massive book called "LOVE IS IN THE EARTH: The Crystal & Mineral Encyclopedia". I am not kidding when I say this book is massive. It is a 726 page book, and describes over 1400 minerals and crystals... this book and Rosemary's shop was my first step in developing a loving affinity with crystals.
The pieces combine clay and gemstones,
and although each gemstone carries a metaphysical meaning - the meaning behind the jewelry goes beyond that.
The Jewelry that I create is intended to inspire, guide, support and uplift the wearer.
My main focus is to create pieces for people who want to re-connect with themselves and the world around them,
people who are on a 'soul-journey', people who are healing or starting a healing journey.
My pieces are inspired by stories of the Earth Healers, the Wild Women,
the Medicine Women and by the connection that we have from our spirit and the earth.
The pieces are inspired by my own journey, of being completely lost and slowly, tenderly, finding my way.
I have always loved Talismans and Amulets.
A talisman is an object, often a gemstone or necklace, that has a specific ability to aid a person in focusing and amplifying his or her power. The power of a talisman is its ability to aid you in achieving the future you desire.
My interest in Talismans came about because of a little bracelet that my mum had given me, and the connection that I had to it.
It was a silver bracelet with a faux sapphire - it was beautiful to me because my mum (who had little money) had bought it for me.
After my mum passed away, I used to carry this bracelet in my handbag,
and when I felt down, lost or I was having doubts about myself - I would get the bracelet out and hold it in my hands
....I would feel a rush of love come over me, a feeling of safety, a whisper, her whisper, that told me to 'trust myself'.
That is precisely the energy that I put into this jewelry, a whisper, to you, to remind you, you are not alone - and to trust yourself.
The jewelry comes from a place of love.
Gemstones have always been seen as sacred gifts and medicine from the Earth.
They have been used for thousands of years for healing medicine and as spiritual awakening tools
by indigenous and tribal people around the world.
Gemstones and crystals were viewed as a bridge to the sacred energies of Gaia or Mother Earth.
Earth Medicine Jewelry for the Wild Spirited.
'Earth Medicine' is concerned with our connections with the Earth, with the elements, and with other forms of life.
The gemstones remind us to honor our spirit, to remind us that we are sacred beings, that we must nurture our souls and surroundings.
Gemstones are sacred to the wild woman or medicine woman, who knows that in her world everything is interconnected, that the people, the plants and the animals, the land and celestial bodies are one and the same.
She knows that in this world, nothing is inanimate, that everything is alive; animals, plants, and natural forces, all are energised by Spirit. She knows she is on an equal footing with nature;
she is a part of nature and is morally obligated to treat animals, plants and her land with respect.
She is Spirit, She is Soul, She is Earth.
