Manny Bartolome and Francis Klein of 'Pieces of Light' -
Our company ‘Pieces of Light’ is the culmination of over thirty years of research,
collecting, experimenting and experience with gemstones and minerals of
all kinds. We reached a point where we first wanted to be able to make
wearable pieces out of the many stones we'd collected. We'd come to
appreciate the subtle but, for us, very discernible energy shifts that
occur when gemstones are kept close to the physical body. After making a
few pendants for ourselves, we decided that it would be fun and
satisfying to be able to make them for others as well. After all this
time, there is no longer any doubt for us that the energies we describe
for each piece are real and powerful. For us, it is that property which
is the most important facet of the items we make. We do strive, however,
to make the pieces aesthetically pleasing and fashionable as well. When
asked by a few friends if they had to believe in the stones to buy them,
we replied immediately. The stones don't need for you to believe in them
to be what they are, and do what they do. If you're just in the market
for a beautiful piece of jewelry, that's perfectly fine. We only ask
that you keep an open mind, and let yourself observe whatever changes,
if any, take place when you wear them. Since the energy component of our
work is foremost to us, we want you to know that each piece has been
cleared of all prior intents and energies. It was also charged with pure
light frequencies and is ready to go to work for you.
We hand make one of a kind spiritual tools that can be worn as jewelry.
We've developed a style to our wrapping techniques which we are told by
most of our buyers is unique in the online market. Each piece is
designed for the energy it offers the wearer. The aesthetics are
important in that they encourage people to wear and use the tools we
make. The stones we use are handled with respect and appreciation for
their unique appearance and inherent qualities. We work in relationship
with the stones themselves, allowing them to guide us in our design
choices. This insures that each piece is as unique as the stone that it
features. For us, this is more than commerce, it is both art and a
spiritual calling.
