This morning my thoughts are on  copper, as it seems that this special metal has not been receiving its due attention, in comparison to gemstones and crystals. Copper is one of my favorite metals. I love the warmth of it, as well as the oxidized changes as it interacts with its environment. Most of all, I love the way it interacts with my gems and crystals.
A  little background on Copper:
Copper is one atom. It cannot be broken down and its atomic symbol and number is Cu 29 (numerology number 11). It is an historically used metal so prevalent in  5,500 - 4000 BC that the age is referred to as the Chalcolithic Age.  A Greek word meaning Copper (Chalkos) Rock (lithos). The name copper comes from the Latin word Cuprum which referred to the ancient name of the island of Cyprus.
Copper has so many beneficial properties. It is essential to the proper functioning of the human body and has long been associated with healing and spirituality. It has been used for pain relief, particularly joints (think copper bracelets) and is also antimicrobial. It also has been historically used in healing, meditation, and Reiki. It is highly conductive (electrical and thermal). It aids in disrupting the energy of electromagnetic frequencies and lessons the negative effects of such exposure. 
The natural conductivity of copper makes it the perfect metal to pair with the gems. It helps to balance and even out the energy of a gem or combination of gemstones. This creates a more stable energy and enhances its vibration.  The metal charges easily and quickly in the sun making it perfect for healing/energy work.
Charmed in Company has several different forms of copper (nuggets, free form, jewelry) come in and find the piece that works for you. If you are going to be pairing it with other gems, remember to bring them in, so you can feel the interchange of energy. We have a large assortment of gems and crystals that are unusual and pair well, so feel free to come and explore. It's always best to be able to select your own gems as each person's energy is unique.
Victoria's Custom Pendants wrapped in copper:
Although I can wrap a pendant in many metals, my go to has always been copper. The natural flow of energy tying the crystals together can't be beat.  I work from many base gems depending on the type of energy you need and add enhancement gems to fine tune the energy. 
For a Custom Healing or Energy Pendant, it has been my experience that it is best to just come in, without a predisposition to a specific gem or crystal, and just talk. I combine my natural ability to sense and read energy  with my analytical mind. This allows me to quickly hone in on the core issue and present gems that will resonate.   We  then fine tune with the accent  gems. I have an extensive gem knowledge base (over 33 yrs) as well as gems/crystals/metals to work with, so we will find that unique combination of energy to create a one of a kind personalized pendant.
I can also create one based on the person's astrological sign or your specific desire (love, success, intuition, good fortune, etc). I can pick up on a pet through their owner so if there is a animal who has a specific issue you want to address I can make a pendant to attach to a collar or hang in an area it frequents.
Have any questions? Come in or give me a call 609 693 3311. I do not wrap on demand, so if you chose to have one made, pick up will be on another day.
