Shamans and clairvoyants use them for seeing into the future – or, to use the more exact term, for scrying – while magicians often include them as part of their stage props.
Rok Chix though decided to go down a different route, using gemstone crystal balls for decorative purposes only (though if you do want to use them to try your hand at crystallomancy – or crystal gazing – you’re free to try).
These unique new handmade pieces include necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings, all featuring colourful crushed raw gemstones locked inside ‘crystal’ balls made from clear resin, which sit inside sleek sterling silver domes.
Rok Chix Silver and Gemstone Crystal Ball Necklaces, £50, feature deep purple amethyst, dark teal apatite, pale pink rose quartz or vibrant blue-green turquoise gems, all crushed by hand, set in resin and hung from a medium-length sterling silver chain.
Silver and Gemstone Crystal Ball Earrings, £50, which feature shiny crystal balls hanging from simple sterling silver ear hooks, are also available in amethyst, apatite, rose quartz and turquoise. And classic skinny Silver and Gemstone Crystal Ball Bangles, £55 come with amethyst, apatite, rose quartz and turquoise crystal ball charms.
Meanwhile, for those who like to wear their gemstone baubles on their fingers, Rok Chix Silver and Gemstone Crystal Ball Rings, £50, are available in no fewer than nine different gemstones, including amethyst, apatite, light blue-green aquamarine, rich orange carnelian, deep red garnet, velvety black haematite, bright green peridot, rose quartz and turquoise. In other words, whatever colour you’re wearing, we have the crystal ball ring to complement it.
Who knows if they will help boost your psychic potential, but these ‘crystal’ balls are certainly bursting with natural gemstone beauty.
