Handmade by artist Karen Okada in Boulder, CO

A Note From The Artist 

I begin each piece with a meditation. I’m attracted to stones that symbolize the raw beauty and natural geometric structure of mother earth and her forces of nature. Each stone carries both carbon and water and like each of us, they hold energy. They are all unique and exquisite.

When I create jewelry or make a painting, the action and its symbolism is a genuine endeavor to ground and elevate our everyday existence. In all my work I hope to catalyze a way to see ourselves as part of this planet, to embrace our path, and hold space for ourselves and each-other. It’s quantum entanglement.
