Connecting with Corundum: Crafting Calm and ʻOhana

Discover the serene beauty of Corundum, a gemstone family that includes the beloved Ruby and Sapphire. Let its calming energy inspire your next project and deepen your connection with yourself and your ʻohana.

Embrace Your Inner Calm

Known for fostering a sense of peace and compassion, Corundum gemstones like Ruby and Sapphire can be wonderful allies for mindfulness and self-care. As you craft with these beautiful stones, set an intention for connection and a heart-opening experience.

Crafting with Color and Light

Corundum offers a spectrum of colors, from the deep reds of Ruby to the rich blues of Sapphire, alongside lovely pinks, yellows, and greens. Explore rounds, faceted rondelles, and charming puffed ovals or hearts. These make stunning focals or pendants. Pair them with luminous pearls, clear quartz for clarity, or grounding green aventurine/jade. Lapis or Sodalite can enhance a sense of calm. Complement their beauty with sterling silver, warm rose gold, classic copper, or vibrant brass.

Your Tools for Timeless Creations

For durable, flowing designs, choose Soft Touch beading wire. Use .014 for delicate pieces, .019 for most projects, and .024 for larger, heavier beads. When creating knotted designs that stand the test of time, carded nylon is your go-to. For elastic designs, select a clear elastic cord that fits snugly through your bead holes for a secure finish.

Create with Intention

Imagine a Ruby pendant on a simple chain for a touch of courage, or a Sapphire bracelet interspersed with pearls for elegant serenity. Perhaps a mala-inspired necklace using Corundum rounds to aid in mindful meditation. Whatever you choose, let the process bring you joy and connection.
