About us

Memories of being tucked up in my mum’s bed sorting through her jewellery box, untangling chains and pairing earrings are some of my fondest childhood memories. This was a special treat, used to distract me and my sister whenever we were feeling poorly. I didn’t know that the ‘treasure’ was costume jewellery, I knew it was special to mum and so being allowed access to it was memorable.

Maybe it was feelings of being soothed and comforted during those childhood times that made me gravitate towards healing crystal jewellery in my 50s, when a series of events at work left me feeling dismantled. My 32-year career had suddenly ended. I wasn’t sure who I was any more. I couldn’t forgive those who had damaged me, and my future.

Salvation came when I spotted a title in a book sale that intrigued me: Crystals for Self-Care by Kirsty Gallagher. I liked the idea of being able to heal myself and I devoured this book. An exercise for ‘letting go’ using a piece of Selenite allowed me to begin the process of moving on.

I started to feel more positive and made a deliberate choice to see the end of my career as an opportunity to do something different. I’d always loved jewellery and crafting so making jewellery with healing crystals was a natural choice: Purposeful Peach was born. 

I’ve researched the properties of healing crystals so that I can make jewellery to target specific concerns, whether that’s stress, anxiety, grief, confidence, courage, willpower, love or trust. Every piece I make has a purpose and that’s because I want you to feel good as well as look good.
