Archangel gabriel: the courage to bring your truth to light

THE FAVORITES THAT FOUND ME

Posted by Christina Zipperlen on November 10, 2026

I choose my jewelry intuitively. Each day, the pieces that want to be worn whisper to me and I trust the full body yes I feel. But today I realized something special about the pieces I’m reaching for most often…

They all have heart.

My most worn pieces carry stones that center compassion, tenderness, emotional healing, love, and connection. Sprinkled throughout are stones of truth, clarity, courage, wisdom, and transformation too.

As I wonder what that says about where I'm at in my life, I also think about the world we're living in right now. Collectively, there’s an uncertainty, division, change, and, sometimes, a real sense of overwhelm.

Personally, this year has asked a lot of me individually too. As a mother, a woman, an artist, a business owner, and simply as a human being trying to navigate life with an open heart.

I think there's something beautiful about the fact that the pieces I instinctively reach for reflect the qualities I'm wanting to cultivate more of. The qualities that I know will help me to navigate this chapter of my life with greater ease, peace, and maybe even some clarity too.

So let’s have a look at the pieces I’m wearing on repeat because, just maybe, they’re calling to you too.

MY INTENTIONAL EVERY DAY JEWELRY

OM GANESHA SOLID GOLD NECKLACE

This one feels especially meaningful. Something about this chapter of my life feels like a constant dance between letting go and beginning again. Learning to trust the path even when it doesn't unfold as I imagined. And so, Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and guardian of new beginnings, stays with me.

I love that this piece carries such a strong connection to Bali, the place I've called home for so many years, where Ganesha is honored and prayed to daily. This is where I’ve raised Jaya, and myself in many ways.

So meaningful and made from solid gold, I can imagine wearing this piece for the rest of my life and passing it down to Jaya one day too.

Fair Trade Sapphire Solid Gold Ring

Sapphire is traditionally associated with wisdom, truth, intuition, and protection, and I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to those qualities this year.

To me, sapphires embody knowing what is true for me. Living in alignment with my values. Making decisions that feel right, even when they're not necessarily the easiest or most convenient.

There's something about wearing a ring like this that feels like a promise to myself. I love that a ring doesn't have to represent a promise from someone else, but can fully honor and represent the promises we make to ourselves.

Fair Trade Emerald Solid Gold Ring (Available only in our Bali stores)

Emerald is such a beautiful heart stone. Associated with love, renewal, growth, harmony and the heart chakra.

The idea of renewal resonates with me so much right now. I can feel life continually asking me to grow, to change, to release old versions of myself, and to somehow keep my heart open through it all. While not always an easy feeling to hold, I honor the sense of expansion I get from deepening into trust and the process of renewal.

Emerald feels like a beautiful companion for that. For staying open to love. No matter what.

Wild Treasures Earrings: Fluorite, Aquamarine and Peridot

I love this combination of stones. Fluorite for clarity, and mental focus, Aquamarine for calm, courage, and honest communication, and Peridot for renewal, compassion, and opening the heart.

There's almost a little recipe for navigating life in these earrings! A clear mind, a courageous voice, and an open heart. I love that.

I also love the playful, colourful nature of these pieces. With all the deeper meanings we attach to jewelry, sometimes we also just need to wear something because it makes us feel beautiful and happy.

Companion of Passages Earrings and Necklace: Vesuvianite

Even the name of this design feels so appropriate for where I'm at right now. Companion of Passages. This design’s Vesuvianite is associated with releasing old patterns, personal growth, and moving through transitions with greater confidence.

I've been thinking a lot about the different chapters of life and how we move between them. Sometimes willingly, sometimes reluctantly. Motherhood alone has transformed me in ways I couldn't possibly have imagined. And I feel like I'm still learning how to hold all the different parts of myself as life continues to change.

These pieces feel particularly on point in these times. I see so many of my loved ones choosing this design or receiving it as a gift right now. It feels like a small, secret support system linking our little Bali tribe together as we navigate the changing world before us.

The idea of jewelry accompanying us through our passages feels special to me. Not necessarily providing answers, but simply reminding us that we have the capacity to move through change.

Resting Heart Earrings: Prehnite

Prehnite is often associated with unconditional love, peace, compassion and emotional healing. And I think the name of this design says it all: Resting Heart.

Because sometimes the heart needs rest too.

Not another lesson, another challenge, another opportunity for growth.

Just space to soften, to feel safe, to love, and to be loved.

I think this is something many of us are longing for right now. I know I am too.

Moon Dust Stud Earrings: Rainbow Moonstone, in Solid Gold or Gold Plated

Moonstone has always been one of my favourite stones. Its connection to intuition, feminine energy, cycles and new beginnings feels especially meaningful as a woman and mother.

There's something about its shifting light that I find endlessly beautiful, and I love how the simplicity of this design highlights that quality of moonstone so well. These earrings are the kind of pieces you put on and forget you're wearing because they seamlessly become like a natural part of you.

Daydreamer Hoop Earrings: Herkimer Diamond

Traditionally associated with clarity, spiritual awareness, amplification, and dreams, I love that Herkimer Diamond is so strongly connected to vision and possibility..

Because, despite everything, I still believe in dreaming.

In imagining beautiful things into existence. In creating.

In staying curious about what life might have in store.

I think it's important not to lose that part of ourselves, especially when the practicalities and responsibilities of life become so consuming.

THE COMMON THREAD RUNS THROUGH THE HEART

These aren't necessarily our bestselling pieces, or even the pieces I would have predicted I'd wear the most. They're simply the ones that have found their way into my everyday life.

The ones that hold a lot of heart. A little courage. A desire for clarity and truth. A willingness to move through change. And a continued belief in beauty, love, dreams, and new beginnings.

I wonder if this is also a reflection of what the world could use more of right now.

More compassion, certainly. More willingness to listen and understand. But also the courage to speak our truth, to stand for what matters, to make choices with integrity, and to stay open even when life feels uncertain.

Maybe that's the answer to why I've been reaching for so many heart stones. Because keeping an open heart in this world feels like something worth consciously choosing, again and again.

Ultimately, jewelry becomes meaningful through the lives we live while wearing it. Through the people we love, the places we go, the challenges we overcome, the dreams we carry, and the memories we gather along the way.

WHAT IS YOUR INTUITION TELLING YOU?

Your jewelry choices are extensions of your intuition. They may have something to show you about this chapter of your life. About the energies you’re cultivating, the supports you need, and the world you’re living alongside.

I loved learning about myself through this process, and have put together some simple steps to follow if you’d like to try too:

♡ Pull the pieces you’ve found yourself wearing most out from where they stay. Let them lay together on your bed, or arrange them on a table or special tray. Somewhere you can sit comfortably for a few minutes.

♡ Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Notice the energy in your body. Is it settling or rising? Is it similar or different to how you felt before your jewelry was with you? Reflect on these questions for a few breaths.

♡ Opening your eyes, begin to notice the materials and meanings of the pieces in front of you. Take stock of the people who’ve given you these pieces, the life events they may mark, the love they may represent. Identify any crystals, gemstones, precious metals, or natural materials. Pay special attention to any that are present in two or more pieces.

♡ Start to explore the meanings behind the materials you’ve been gravitating toward. If Ananda Soul pieces are included, revisit the art card that came with your purchase and explain its deeper meanings. If you notice certain stones or colors repeated, you can use our gemstone guide for more insight.

Whatever you find, know that all is well. That these pieces are conspiring in your favor, and that it is ultimately you who makes the meaning.
