There’s something magnetic about emeralds. It’s not just their deep, velvety green — it’s the way they seem to hold both mystery and comfort in the same breath. When I design with them, I feel like I’m channeling a kind of ancient wisdom, the kind that reminds me to soften, to open, to love.
Green is the color of the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the energetic center that governs compassion, empathy, and emotional balance. Green is the color of my office, the color of my car, and dare I say, the color of my soul. When the heart chakra is open, life feels lighter, more connected. Love flows more freely. When we are tuned into the heart chakra, the space for forgiveness, for understanding, and for joy opens. That open energy feels like sunlight filtering through leaves.
Emeralds, in their purest form, carry this energy naturally. Emeralds are said to soothe the heart, encourage truth in relationships, and inspire the courage to love without walls. I think of them as a reminder that even in life’s chaos, I can find a steady rhythm in my heart.
Six years ago, on my own spiritual journey, I identified my life’s purpose: to love well. That truth is the clearest message I have ever received. That truth revealed itself in a moment of deep clarity during a sacred plant medicine ceremony. It all came to be by happenstance, as many of the most moving and impactful things often do. In that space, I saw, with startling and deep clarity, that there are no walls inside us at all. I had a vision of every inner wall crumbling, dissolving into nothing, until everything was one… and all that remained was the heart and open doors. Everything was one. In that vision, I saw the deepest, richest green I had ever known, the color of my soul, a living picture of trees swaying in the wind. That green, and the shattering of those walls, has stayed with me ever since, imprinting itself on my soul as a reminder that love is our truest nature.
Wearing emeralds feels like carrying a piece of that vision. Green is a piece of the universal soul. It’s grounding, yet uplifting. It is like standing barefoot in grass, breathing in the scent of spring after rain. For me, it’s not just jewelry; it’s an invitation to live with my heart wide open.
Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to them right now. The world feels noisy, but emeralds remind me to quiet down, tune in, and let my inner light and love shine.
