If you know me you know my love for Pools of Light. It was the reason I started making jewelry 45 years ago.

Pools of light have a long, prized history. The English had colonized both India and China in the 1800s. They recognized the craftsmanship in both countries and took Western designs to be made and imported back to England. At that time, the culture was obsessed with metaphysics. Crystal ball readings and séances were common pastimes (those crazy Brits). Someone had the bright idea of getting small crystal balls made for jewelry. TaDa!

They got their name because of the pool of light that sits next to the orb when the sunlight hits it. Like a halo of light around your neck.
