Stones
Throughout history, natural stones and materials drawn from the earth and sea have been revered not only for their beauty, but for their symbolic and energetic significance. Across ancient civilizations and into the present day, these materials have been worn as adornment, protection, and talisman.
When understood and worn with intention, stones are believed to support transformation—inviting balance, clarity, healing, and protection. Each wearer is encouraged to trust their natural attraction when selecting a piece, allowing intuition to guide the choice.

Caring for Your Stones
Most stones used by Tarra Rosenbaum are non-porous and may be gently cleansed with water, sound, or clear quartz.
To recharge:
Darker stones respond best to sunlight
Lighter stones are energized by moonlight
To activate a stone’s intention, hold the jewelry, invite the stone to awaken, and dedicate it to a purpose such as protection, clarity, or abundance. It is recommended to cleanse gemstones after a full day of wear.
Caring for Your Jewelry
Each piece arrives in a custom-designed pouch created to protect against tarnish and oxidation. This keepsake packaging is designed to preserve the beauty and integrity of your jewelry for years to come.
