We’ve been a fan of Lisa Maxwell Jewelry for a few years now and we can’t wait for you to join the crystal jeweled crew. Not only is each piece in every collection beyond stunning and intentionally made but Lisa herself is an angel. Her aura brings a sense of calmness and her positive attitude leaves you feeling inspired after even just a DM. Oh, and every time we’ve purchased from her, amazing things happen! We were lucky enough to do a Q & A with her and here’s what she has to say about fall styling tips, advice and more:

Can you tell us a bit about your creation process? 

Lisa Maxwell Jewelry is hand-crafted in our Toronto studio which is located near Mount Pleasant and Eglinton. Below is the creation process I follow for each piece: 

Step One: Design 

My creation process begins with intuitively choosing a healing crystal that inspires me. I look for crystals that have a high aesthetic quality and also contain healing properties that resonate with the specific piece I am creating. I also make sure that the crystals I choose will be cohesive within the entire Lisa Maxwell Jewelry Collection. 

Next, I decide on what type of piece I will be making (necklace, bracelet, etc). After that, I choose the type of precious metal that is best suited to match the stone. For example, vibrant gemstones like emerald or citrine pair well with gold as they are both complementary warm tones. 

Step Two: Selection 

Next is the process of procuring crystals to make the piece. Whenever possible, myself or a member of my team visits our suppliers in person to hand-select the highest grade stones available. Although this can be a time-consuming process, it helps us to create a more refined finished product. We also choose metals that are high quality. All of the silver we work with is sterling silver. We use mostly 14-karat gold-filled along with some 14-karat gold filled over sterling silver. It is very important that the metals are hypoallergenic, nickel-free, non-tarnish and suitable for sensitive skin. Our chains and metal components are always checked for quality and durability. 

Step Three: Manufacturing 

Before beginning the manufacturing of each piece, we set up all of the component parts that we will need to complete it. Necklaces require certain stones, metal accents, and component parts, along with the chain used to hold them together. Bracelets often need the same parts, or a durable stretch cord if we are making a beaded stretch bracelet. Earrings are a simpler process, as they use only a few gemstones per piece and only a couple of metal parts. During this process, we are attuned to sizing, making sure each component meets the specific size and scale requirements. We use specific tools for each piece: needle-nosed pliers, chain-nosed pliers, wire cutters, crimping pliers are among the tools we use most often. 

Step Four: Quality Control 

During the manufacturing process, my team and I are constantly checking the quality of each piece as we make them. Once a piece is finished, we give it a final appraisal to ensure its quality is impeccable. We give the piece a final polish and then set it aside to be packaged.

What stones/ pieces are you recommending for fall? 

I’m so happy you asked! Fall is such a wonderful time for embracing a time when the weather cools down and colours become vibrant all around us. I actually recently wrote a block on the gemstones I recommend for Autumn. You can find the blog here:

Citrine: Citrine is a vibrant crystal that plays into the mood and colour palette of Fall quite well. Its golden and orange tones are matched well with the colours of changing leaves. Citrine also holds the warmth of the sun, which can allow us to feel more energized as the days get shorter. This sparkly golden crystal is excellent for helping us create abundance during the harvest season.

We recommend: The Charmed with Abundance Mini Necklace 

Onyx: Tapping into darker stones is a wonderful way to help us transition into the cooler months of the year, as dark gems promote a sense of reflection and groundedness. Onyx helps our energy become more rooted and can also provide us with a sense of calmness. This jet black stone can help us feel a deeper connection with the earth even when our time spent outdoors may be decreased in the cooler weather. 

We recommend: The Dainty Grounded Bracelet 

Hematite: Speaking of grounding stones, hematite is another great stone for helping us lean into the slower rhythm of autumn. Gun metal grey in colour, hematite can provide stability and helps us to release stress that may have been building up. With less time outdoors and increased digital activity, hematite creates a shield to protect against negative energy including electromagnetic smog from computers and cell phones.

We recommend: The Clarity Necklace 

What are your layering tips? 

Such a great question! I think it’s important to remember that wearing jewelry is meant to be an enjoyable experience and there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to wearing different necklace layers (in my opinion). Here are a few of my favourite tips: 

#1 Start with the basics. You actually only need two necklaces to start layering. That’s right, just two! Especially if you’re new to wearing multiple layers, this is a great way to test the waters and discover your own sense of style. 

#2 Mix up your lengths. This step actually makes Step One a lot easier; when you choose the right necklace lengths, it takes the guesswork out of how to layer. We follow one easy rule: leave 2 inches of space between each necklace layer to stack necklaces effortlessly. For example, a 16-inch necklace + an 18-inch necklace = a perfect layering duo. Add a 20-inch chain as the bottom layer to try wearing three necklaces at a time. You’ve got this! 

#3 Choose intuitively. I don’t believe in following set “rules” about deciding which crystals to wear at the same time. Let your inner wisdom be your guide and allow yourself to be drawn to whichever gemstone necklaces you feel called to wear in the moment.

Step Four: Unify Your Metals. Choosing metals that match each other can be a great way to create a cohesive layered look. Silver with silver, gold with gold. Of course there are occasions where you may want to mix up your metals, and if you are feeling bold and want to give it a go, we say go ahead! I’ve recently been really loving wearing a mix of gold and silver stacking rings on one finger and think this can also work with necklaces as well. 

Step Five: Mix and Match Necklaces 

One simple way to add some style variance when laying is by wearing choosing delicate chains with bold gemstones. For example, our Charmed With Abundance Mini Necklace features a delicate citrine pendant on the Gold Cable Chain, combining a vibrant yellow gem with a dainty chain. There are so many possibilities when we begin to combine different styles of necklaces and it allows us to get multiple looks with the staple pieces in your jewelry collection.

How do you choose which pieces are right for you? 

I think it’s important to choose jewelry that you feel inspired to wear. If you look at a piece of jewelry and it sparks something positive within you, listen to that feeling. Oftentimes, we know a piece of jewelry is likey for us within the first seconds of seeing it. Go with your gut and try the jewelry you feel drawn to. 

Crystal jewelry can also be chosen based on the specific healing properties offered by the gemstones contained in the piece. For example, if you’re looking to enhance your intuition and find a sense of calmness, finding jewelry containing a soothing stone-like moonstone would be a great place to start. After choosing the stone, you can then narrow it down to the specific piece of jewelry you feel drawn to. 

Choosing jewelry that compliments your skin tone can also be a good way to select pieces. For instance, cool complexions can be warmed up with a boldly coloured crystal or bright gold.

Advice for jewelry makers? 

Be consistent; whether you’re inspired or not, show up at your workbench with a positive attitude and you’ll be surprised what can happen. 

Cultivate excellent client care. Think about each piece you make with the client in mind. Not just in terms of style, but in terms of quality and longevity. Building a positive client relationship is also an integral part of creating a returning client base that will grow with you into the future. 

Get involved in the jewelry-making community locally and digitally. Talk to other makers; lean on them for support and inspiration and give back to that community when you can. 

Be proud of your work! Putting your creativity out into the world takes courage and it is definitely something to be celebrated.

What is your sign? 

Taurus! And I know that you’re a Cancer because I’ve asked you, of course. You definitely seem to have a few of the awesome Cancer traits: intuitive and very thoughtful. Such a fun question! 

More from Lisa Maxwell Jewelry:

Today is the only Friday the 13th of 2021, giving us some especially strong energy. In a typical year, we experience three ‘spooky days’ so today marks an extra special one. Though usually seen as an unlucky day, in the spiritual community Friday the 13th, is super uplifting. It’s all about taking charge of your feminine side and letting it shine through. The things that have been deemed unruly for women: sex, taking up space, menstruation, masturbation, speaking out, etc., take charge of it and stand tall while doing so. It’s also an important time to look at our bodies and take care of them from the inside out. Whether it’s a little love down there to make you feel like a goddess or a firey workout to up your badassness, do something to make you feel empowered. Embrace that alpha female this Friday the 13th, 2021.

Mama Moon 

The number 13 is the number of moon phases we have in a year and gives out strong feminine energy. It’s currently peaking in its crescent phase, which helps us to relax and visualize intentions to bring your vibes higher. Take some time today to re-look at intentions you’ve set for Leo season, to set yourself up for a great Virgo season starting August 23rd. Crystals like moonstones are good choices for Friday the 13th because they focus directly on feminine energy and give off a chill vibe to match the crescent moon. The super grounding stone puts on a calming front, making it a superpower for walking with confidence. Keep some on you with moonstone jewelry from Lisa Maxwell or put a cluster where you get ready in the morning.

Q: How did you get into the space of crystals?

A: Oh my gosh that was completely just like my Birthright. So my grandmother’s father was a jeweler and had a shop and worked with crystals and taught everything to my grandma. Then my grandma opened up a shop and we grew up in that and just around crystals and around jewelry-making like I was jewelry-making when I was like 5, we were always just having it around. And then my uncle took it over which is what he does now and then I sort of started doing it. So it happened organically like, I’ve just been around it forever. They have amazing connections and they’ve really helped me develop this, amazing connection to the stones. And this is just so much a part of me. Q: Definitely feel like family is a big influence. A: Huge. Oh my gosh. And they were just so supportive and just so, you know, helped me along the way, so much. And I’d do wall hangings with crystals weaved into them, and they were giving me the beads for just everything, like the crystal beads and everything. So yeah, I just was so influenced by them and I’m just also so spiritual. I do jewelry-making as well and that’s their influence and they focus a lot on precious stones and jewelry making. And I guess like where I differ and their spiritual but I’m very spiritual and I truly have known from experience, how much the crystals have brought to my life and how they’ve helped me so much through so many different stages of my life. In terms of like, figuring out who I am, what I wanted to do, helping me to manifest, helping me to stay positive like all these different things. And so it’s so important for me to share that with others just because I know how powerful they can be and it just means everything to me.

Q: Tell us a bit about your crystal zoom calls.

A: Yes! So, this is something that just came to me. I feel that choosing crystals is such a sacred personal experience. I was seeing a lot of these things pop up with lives and online websites and it felt like the opposite of the energy that’s appropriate for actually selecting crystals. There are all these people that are kind of fighting over crystals or you have to claim it first and there’s so much adrenaline. There’s so much going on and most people that are attracted to crystals are so sensitive to other people’s energy. So I felt like, it needs to be one-on-one so that you don’t have distractions. You need to have time to settle into your body and you need guidance. I feel like the biggest thing that I felt people were experiencing was that oh my gosh, there are so many crystals, where do I start? But at the same time, a lot of people were finally kind of waking up and wanting to tap into their spirituality. They were figuring out who they were, work on some of these issues that the business of pre-covid just prevented people from looking at and a lot of people started collecting at the start of covid. And so a lot of people were looking for guidance and a mentor. So I thought there’s no way I can strictly take this out to people and not individualize anything, but I believe you need to connect and you need a guide. And so I said, okay, maybe I can just try doing a video call with someone so I can show them everything because not everyone can come in and can help guide them. So I’ve just been kind of teaching people how to tune into their body and really listen and try to understand which specific crystals are calling them. It just sort of just happened really organically. It wasn’t planned, I wasn’t thinking this is my strategy, it is very responsive to the times at the moment and what kind of what needed to happen.

Q: A lot of important things have come up from strategies dealing with Covid.

A: Huge, sweeping changes. it’s only through deep struggle that we actually appreciate what we had and find our true selves. We have to go to the lowest places just to be able to go to the higher places. The struggle is a gift and it can be framed as a gift. And there’s a lot of crystals even like Malachite for instance. And if you’re ready for it, it’s really good to work with it because it can send your life into upheaval. It will be like a crazy detox and it will look like your life is falling apart. You’ll think, this crystal is the worst thing ever like why did I bring this into my life? But what it does is it eliminates the things that need to be detoxed, things are not helping you so that you can make way for those amazing things to come in. Even Obsidian, it’s a lot about shadow work. They’re going to bring up things that are difficult to look at in yourself but they need to be healed so that you can become fully integrated and one.

Q: You’re surrounded by so many crystals, is there one or a few that you’re drawn to?

A: Yes! Okay, Pink Amethyst is a really big one for me. I absolutely love it because it’s such a high vibrational heart chakra crystal but it also helps engage the crown and the third eye. Even in conversation, if you’re feeling heated or upset or you’re having difficulty with relationships, as opposed to just reacting or just feeling from the heart, it helps you to think, how do I want to respond? And then Caribbean Calcite, I love the energy. It’s all about that ocean energy that surrenders, just accepting what is coming your way and trusting that you’re on your Life Path and relinquishing that need to control everything. Celestite, love. Just that Angelic, calming incredible feeling, it’s so good for sleep and Angel Aura. I truly feel that you will connect so much more deeply with your angle guides if you work with this stone. You’ll see so many angel numbers, you’ll get dreams, the lights will flicker, you’ll feel them here. Kunzite is that nurturing, mama energy, the woman’s stone saying let’s heal your heart, that big hug, that femininity. I just love it.

Q: Do you have a motto?

A: Definitely! Always trust your intuition, always trust your body. A lot of people will say I read this crystal is good for this, I need it. And they’ll choose based on that. Whereas there’s so much going on in us, that we’re not even conscious of. You may be dealing with something that you’re not even ready to look at, but your body will be able to sense it. Your body will be attracted to the certain crystals that will do that. So there’s a difference between reading a crystal is good for focus, like Fluorite and going to get it and I’m going to trust my body and what I’m attracted to because there’s going to be a reason and I don’t fully understand it, but I know it’s real and there’s an intelligence that’s beyond me and beyond my mind Q: What’s your zodiac sign? A: I’m an Aries. I’m a Scorpio Moon and a Libra Rising.

While there are a range of different quartz types, clear quartz is one of the most frequent crystals you’re likely to see around. Although colourful crystals are always intriguing and appealing, even the most avid user of crystals will find themselves drawn to the clarity and clairvoyance of a clear quartz on occasion. 

Not only does clear quartz work well to enhance our own sense of clarity while stabilizing our frequencies and amplifying our connection to Source, it also works as an amplifier for other crystals in your collection, complementing and extending their strengths. It’s perfect to keep with you for any stage or challenge in your life because clear quartz always has your back. Even a small clear quartz crystal can bring big benefits. 

While quartz is generally considered to assist with the opening of our crown chakras for higher spiritual connectivity, it is also considered the “master healer” of the crystal world because of how powerfully it can connect to all of our chakras, helping to align and strengthen them. Clear quartz comes with properties that heighten our energies, making it a great stone for meditation, goal setting and journaling. Plus, pure like its colour, this crystal has the tools to help fight anxiety, aches and tension. So, if you find yourself looking up multiple symptoms or are in the need for a little mind, body and soul boost, it’s time for clear quartz! 

Here are some great ways to incorporate clear quartz into your daily rituals:

There are so many amazing ways to implement the high vibrations and good frequencies of rocks, minerals and crystals into your daily life, but have you ever tried tumbled stones? These coin sized healers show that good things really do come in small packages.

They originally start off as regular crystals, rocks or minerals, with raw edges and unique shapes. They are then put through a “tumbler” which smoothes out the edges until they’re soft and polished. While the benefits of these stones are the same as unpolished crystals, rocks and minerals (i.e. clearing your mind, rebalancing, strengthening energy, etc.) it truly comes down to personal preference. Some people like the jagged edges of raw crystalline structure while others prefer the soothing, cool sensations of tumbled stones.

How to choose your stones:

Take a deep breath and pick the one you’re most drawn to. This lets you get the one you really need rather than the one you think you need. The universe works in mysterious ways, so trust us when we tell you you’ll get the right one! That’s not to say if you need help in certain areas not to look up which stone is best for you. Check out our Crystals section for info on different types of crystals and how they can best serve you.

How we love to use our tumbled stones:

• In Pockets: keeping these little guys in your front pockets activates your Sacral Chakra where you can find your creative and pleasure energy and Root Chakra which keeps you grounded
• Home/ Office: spreading them around your home and office adds a beautiful pop of colour to any room and surrounds the environment with the benefits of each stone
• Plants: add a little or a lot of tumbled stones on the top of the dirt in your plants to add a unique twist to your pot
• Body Layout: lay flat on with your stones placed on the areas of your body you need the most healing for a few moments and feel the difference in your every move
• Meditation: holding one or multiple in your hands during your practice helps clear your mind and let’s you focus
• Jewelry: Find beautiful statement pieces with perks such as a tumbled stone necklace that you can switch up the crystal whenever you need a new energy change.

As the healing properties of crystals have re-emerged into 21st century mainstream lifestyle and collective consciousness (they’re really not just for hippies from the 60s anymore!), they can now be found in nearly all areas of our modern lives – from gemstone energy-infused skincare to healing-crystal water bottles and aura-cleansing home sprays. 

But what’s the benefit of leveraging the healing powers of crystals into our more intimate activities? We’ve all heard about the Jade Yoni Egg craze, but while yoni eggs have more health focused benefits, sex toys that harness the powers of crystals are starting to become more mainstream and we are totally here for it.

The History Of The Yoni Wand

Before we get into the good stuff, let’s have a little history lesson. This new wave of sex toys are traditionally referred to as yoni wands and yoni eggs. The word ‘yoni’ can be translated to mean ‘sacred space’ and is actually a Sanskrit word for the vagina, with several deeper layers of meaning, of course. A yoni wand is a natural crystal or gemstone wand that is intended for sacred self pleasure, manifestation and healing from within. Although this may seem like a new fad, it is actually deeply rooted in feminine history; the use of crystal dildos spans back thousands of years. In fact, a stone penis was recently unearthed in Germany that was estimated to be over 30,000 years old. The yoni egg practice, on the other hand, was a more recent endeavour that originated in China a few thousand years ago and was practiced by the emperor’s mistress to maintain a strong and healthy vagina. Regular yoni egg practice can increase awareness and strength of the muscles and abilities of the vagina; it can lead to heightened and more frequent orgasms, and a higher sex drive.

This new wave of spiritual sex toys, made for healing, cleansing and taking your everyday orgasm to the next level is upon us once again, and it is not quite as eccentric as you may think. With the undeniable beautiful aesthetic and a slew of recent benefit claims that range from heightened emotional connection, to deeper orgasms, to cleaner, non-toxic pleasure, crystal sex toys are rising in popularity and gaining momentum fast. 

Where We’re Getting Our Wands

Enter Vixen Crystals, sex toys made from different stones for different spiritual uses. All of their toys – which are seriously a work of art – are made from natural crystals and promise to bring a sense of sacredness to your playtime. Using natural crystals, each wand will carry meaning and power to the one who uses it. Owner Maria believes each stone tells its own story and has its own magic; they are a result of millions of years of Earth’s own trials, and just like us, each one is unique.

The most popular crystal pleaser is known as the Yoni Wand, usually made of 100% rose quartz and is easily the prettiest thing that will ever live on your bedside table. The rose quartz works to cleanse your heart chakra and is said to open you up to all kinds of love. Sex toys, let alone ones with such strong energies, are an extremely personal belonging, making it important to choose one that is right for you. Made from amethyst to black onyx and everything in between, you can choose the crystal with the desired metaphysical properties and chakra stimulation.   

Your vagina is the vessel of life and adorning it with crystals, like a queen, is just a sign of respect. Whether you’re looking for a rose quartz wand, Indian jade butt plug or aventurine egg, it is important to listen to your lady intuition. Like anything that has such powerful healing properties, we encourage you to take the time to do your research and ensure it is safe before beginning your journey to sensual healing.

In our hyperconnected world, it’s no secret that we could all use a digital detox. Taking a break from technology can lower stress levels, clear your mind and promote wellbeing. This is where one of our favourite stones, Shungite, really shines. Although it’s not considered a crystal, it has been praised as the miracle stone of the 21st century. This ancient mineral is filled with molecular structures called fullerenes, which are said to neutralize free radicals and toxins. This powerful geological makeup protects us from viruses, bacteria, pathogens, fluoride, chlorine and those harmful electromagnetic frequencies that we are bombarded by 24/7.

Protect 

We’ve all been there before: having a mini heart attack when you can’t find your phone or getting frustrated when the WiFi doesn’t connect instantly. The seemingly innocent luxuries and technological advancements that have been put in place to make our lives easier could, in fact, be jeopardizing our wellbeing on a multitude of levels. Shungite has been proven to neutralize harmful EMFs that have been proven to disrupt our energetic field and negatively affect the cells in our body; leaving us feeling drained, out of balance, and even promote illness. By having a Shungite pyramid or sphere in the areas of our homes we spend the most time, the harmful frequencies will be neutralized and result in having a positive impact on our health. You can take it one step further with Shungite stickers that are applied directly on your electronics to ensure you are protected in all environments.

Detox

We all know drinking water is so important, but before you get chugging you should reconsider how pure your water truly is. Shungite water has become an emerging craze because of the mineral’s ability to neutralize a significant number of toxins. Its massive quantity of hydrogen makes it very effective for water purification and fills water with oxygen, calcium, magnesium and other essential minerals, while killing bacteria, and removing toxins. It is totally safe, and encouraged, to switch over to Shungite water using water stones or purchasing Shungite glassware.

Rest

It is time to set aside those to-do lists, unanswered questions and that song you can’t get out of your head for some true rest and relaxation. Shungite is a stone that helps to neutralize the energy in surrounding environments and compliment the healing properties of other stones and crystals perfectly. If you’re looking for something a little more intense, Selenite pairs wonderfully with Shungite to cure insomnia. The shungite works to reset the energy of your space while Selenite emits calming vibes all night long. You can simply place a Shungite tile under your bed, pillow or on your night table to feel the stone’s purifying energy throughout the night.

Typically associated with luck and opportunity, the power of jade actually runs a little deeper due to its strong connectivity to our heart chakra. Jade’s ability to open our hearts and clear our energies of negative mentalities such as “I can’t” or “what’s the point” can result in the motivation we may be lacking to source our purpose and attain our dreams.

Jade is an excellent stone for when you are suffering a bout of low energy, depression and lack of insight into your next move or your overall purpose. It has been recognized as the perfect crystal to boost one out of an existential crisis, thereby proving it’s not so much a lucky charm, so much as it is one that can open our minds and hearts to achieve and manifest what was already within our path to attain.

If you are in search for inner truth or a general jumpstart, use jade in your meditation for clarity and guidance. Nourish your inner being by placing jade close to your heart centre to amplify its effects.

Jade’s green colour is reflective of vegetation, growth and life so is viewed as a symbol of vitality and longevity. As such it is often seen in anti-aging practices such as the popular jade roller for facial massage.

The jade crystal is a wonderful stone for re-igniting your inner fire, opening your heart to love and the possibility for beautiful abundance.
