What began as a seven-year-old's fascination with gemstones has quietly grown into something real. From assembling bracelets at the kitchen table to setting up at local farmer's markets, Essential Gemstones has become a small but intentional presence in our community.
Luca started by creating pieces for family and friends — simple lava stone bracelets paired with carefully chosen gemstones. Word spread. Soon he was invited to showcase his work at weekend markets, where he'd meet customers face-to-face, explain the properties of each stone, and hand them a bracelet made with full attention.
Today, Essential Gemstones serves customers locally and online. Each bracelet is still made by hand, one at a time. Every order supports not just a young founder's dream, but also gives back — 10% of all proceeds go directly to the Humane Society, honoring Luca's belief that caring for the earth means caring for all its creatures.
This is more than a side project. It's a practice in intention, craft, and connection — and it's just getting started.
