Remedy the Situation
As I write this post, I find myself enjoying peace, stability and clarity – and while that could simply be coincidence, I also chalk it up to the pretty blue bracelet on my left wrist. That bracelet comes from LA-based brand GEM+REMEDY, which is also the focus of today’s post. Curious? Read on!
GEM+REMEDY is the brainchild of Dana, a talented artisan that couples the metaphysical principles behind precious gemstones with an eye for style. Let’s break that down a bit, shall we?
For those not in the know, there are longstanding theories out there about how having certain gems and crystals present can help sway our minds, our bodies, and the world around us in a certain way. Some people will place a crystal on their desk, others will meditate before they head out into the world. GEM+REMEDY takes those stones, strings them on pieces of delicate silk, in order to draw whatever energies you’re in need of into your life.
There are several collections under the GEM+REMEDY brand, but they all pretty much function the same. The Remedies lineup is designed to aid you with everything from fertility challenges to a lackluster love life to a low sense of self-confidence. Energies, in contrast, is all about bringing good to you, in one form or another – from providing love+protection+clarity to luck+stability+love. These bracelets all retail for $36 a pop, and work well on their own – but no worries about confusing energies by stacking a few together.
And if you don’t see the exact bracelet that will cure whatever ails you, you can always work with GEM+REMEDY‘s Dana on customizing a bracelet, for $46 a pop. Doing so is actually a sweet way to tailor this gift idea even more – it shows you’re empathetic into whatever’s going on in your friend’s life, and that you invested in helping them through it. Also cool? A portion of the proceeds go to help women’s shelters in LA.
The bracelets actually come shipped in these really adorable tubes that specifically call out their purpose – meaning you can even send one to a faraway friend with little explanation. I personally love ’em as a bridesmaid gift idea, since you can tailor each bracelet to your gal pal’s circumstances – from hoping for a baby to looking for love to being inspired creatively. Shipping is a reasonable $6.50 (unless you want tracking, in which case it’s marginally more), making this a Canuck-friendly gift idea too!
Finally, as a piece of wonderful news, three lucky winners are each going to select one bracelet of their choice. Want to insert a bit of good energy into your life? Here’s how to enter:

Reblogged this on The Julielle and commented:
I think that this kind of bracelets are very simple in their design and that is exactly what makes them so nice. Especially the idea of the packaging is very different! I am also working with different kinds of gemsonte beads, just in a different way! I am also inspired by the energy of gemstones and I totally believe in it!
I love the idea! Great design, cute and simple I really like it!
