Love & Light Jewels spread healing, positivity and truth through art and design

There’s a big difference that’s noticeable when you have heart and soul invested behind your business. Tia Sutherland, the CEO of Love & Light Jewels believes in love and service to others hence there is always meaning and depth behind her work. or else it just doesn’t feel right.

Just about four years ago, Sutherland started her journey of using crystals to make jewelry as thank you gifts for some clients while she was working as a certified image consultant. By using the crystals, Sutherland knew the bracelets would have special meaning. The amethyst and white jade beaded bracelets were set to be a daily reminder of self-discovery, and self-love which she was gifting to others.

The entire journey of self-love and self-discovery was all too familiar to Sutherland as she was starting to gain knowledge of the meanings behind gemstones, crystals, Reiki energy, meditation, and yoga. Sutherland’s love, appreciation, and understanding of the universe provided her with guidance and personal growth. Through her self-taught methods, Sutherland began to grow internally and externally through her business. This focus on her business life gave her a growing desire to make more of these special jewelry pieces. Behind every little piece is an overwhelming flow of love and light that Sutherland would pass along to her clients and customers. “People wanted to share with others the love and light these bracelets possessed and so as the universe would have it, Love & Light Jewels was born.”

Sutherland considers herself a light worker with a passion for art and design and she has turned this love and appreciation into a business. What exactly does this mean? It’s simple; Sutherland motivates and inspires others through the powers of the universe and through the main sources of love, kindness, and selflessness. It is all about love light and healing. The healing aspect can be found through the use of the Love & Light Jewels, which serve as a reminder to the wearer that each gem has a story and a special spiritual meaning. Sutherland is also a Level 2 Reiki practitioner and often infuses this energy into her jewelry items.

The accessories that Love & Light Jewels offer are supposed to promote positivity and high vibration to amplify your energy and uplift your spirit. The crystals are the core part of most of Sutherland’s products and they are meant to align with the customer’s intentions for life. For instance, different crystals and gemstones have different meanings, amethyst is meant to provide a soothing and relaxing energy helping your body with relaxation and balance to the mind. Love & Light Jewels have created an Amethyst Stand Up Crystal making it easy for customers to place in their bedrooms to promote a more soothing and therapeutic atmosphere.

Another stand out product that Love & Light Jewels offers is the Abalone Shell, which is linked to native tradition. The shell is normally used as a smudge bowl in spiritual ceremonies while burning sage to clear and release negative energy. The shell provides protective and healing energy to your spirit and environment in order to reduce negativity and promote peace and beauty. Sutherland also offers crystal care packages and sage bundles for those that are starting their own journey of self-discovery and wellness. The Lavender Crystal White Sage Bundle that Sutherland has put together encourages her customers to take advantage of the clearing of negativity through the burning of white sage specially to purify the mind, body, and spirit. The clear quartz that comes with the bundle is said to amplify positive energy as you release and ward off negative energy and finally, the lavender provides healing calm and purity.

While adding unique products to her online collection all the time, Sutherland also has a special category of diffuser bracelets and lockets. This instant form of aromatherapy is elegant stylish and stays with you. A few drops of the essential oil of your choice can be added into the handmade gemstone diffusers to promote therapeutic benefits. Love & Light Jewels also promotes chakra healing which is about finding balance within your body. The flow of our bodies’ energy flows through us and out into the world creating a clear flow and healing is vital for those that want to achieve this balance. Love & Light Jewels has several chakra oils including a crystal infused Heart Chakra Oil with rose quartz, lavender and ylang ylang. The heart chakra according to Sutherlnad, is the center of love, unity, and balance. This oil can help you open your heart to love compassion and self-esteem. Other oils include a Self-Love oil, a Crown Chakra oil, Third Eye Chakra oil, Solar Plexus Chakra oil, Sacral Chakra oil, a Root Chakra oil, and a Concentration oil all infused with crystals. To make it easier for customers, Sutherland also created a 7 Chakra oil set perfect for those that cannot decide or are looking for a perfect gift set.

In addition to this Love & Light Jewels offers bangles and bracelets with different jewels, some even set in gold, a collection of bridal jewelry, a children’s collection, earrings, rings, necklaces, hair clips, keychains, home décor from Brazil, mala beads and even a collection for men. The possibilities of finding something unique and just the right match for you is high through the continuous commitment of Tia Sutherland to her products at Love & Light Jewels. Soon the Love & Light Jewels products will be making their way to a physical space as Sutherland will soon be launching her own LLJ Boutique located by Bathurst and Dundas. The store will offer a physical space where customers can interact with Sutherland in order to gain knowledge about various crystals and gemstones to fit their particular needs and offer crystal care packs as sort of an introductory course for those that are interested in this form of wellness.

Sutherland always spreads her kind works by encouraging you to always believe in yourself and faith action and belief will always get you to your destination.
