Beads, gems and stones have been worn as amulets or talismans on every continent, by every culture throughout history. The Ancients believed them useful when hunting and gathering, for protection, medicinal reasons, to aid in other problems or to remind one of a connection to spirit.

People assigned meaning to almost everything from constellations in the night sky to birthstones. Finding that lucky penny, four leaf clovers, red skies at night, even our first and last names have an assigned meaning or unique lore.

 

Wren Rocks link this magical history together with the concept of acrostic jewelry by incorporating the qualities of each stone to support the individual characteristics of each virtue. Using a patent pending process, a natural stone bead is chosen to represent each letter of a virtue. For example, the letter H in Health is represented by the stone Heliotrope. Not only must the stone's name fit the alphabetic assignment, but the lore, history or magical qualities of that stone must correspond with the qualities assigned the individual virtue. 

 

Each Wren Rocks bracelet or necklace is handmade with sterling silver chains, lobster or magnet clasp and eight millimeter natural semiprecious stone and mineral bead
