Rose Quartz
For centuries, rose quartz has been seen as the stone of joy, emotional healing and unconditional love. Available in hues ranging from pale to hot pink, it's also thought to promote feelings of peace and comfort while cleansing you of any tension, stress and anger. Ideal for attracting new love and developing stronger bonds with family and friends, it's usually worn close to the heart as a gemstone necklace for its soothing vibrations.

Opal
Long associated with luck and magic, there are other benefits to wearing opal gemstone bracelets, rings and other jewellery box favourites, according to Fohrman. "There are so many different versions of opal from all over the world and each has its own beautifully unique colouring and rainbow effect in the background," say Fohrman. "Opals have fiery metaphysical characteristics and bring out one’s inner passion and spontaneity. It is said opals help with creativity and originality. Some even believe that opals help with fighting infections inside the body, along with memory repair inside the brain."

Malachite
Considered to be an amulet that can protect against negative entities, malachite is another stone Fohrman recommends investing in. "I like to work with malachite because it always astonishes me that something so unique and beautiful comes from the earth. I love collecting one of a kind pieces, and also have specially cut stones made in India to go along with my celestial theme," Fohrman says. "Malachite is one of the most healing gemstones and also has the ability to help cleanse your soul and bring transformation from within. That's why I like to give malachite pieces like gemstone rings as gifts to friends in need of healing energy and improved health."

Lapis Lazuli
Known for bringing wisdom and self-expression, lapis lazuli is another of Fohrman's favourites. "Because I'm always drawn to colourful jewellery, there is nothing quite as pure as lapis lazuli. It is also one of the oldest known gemstones," she explains. "The cobalt blue colour is rich and smooth but what really attracts me to the Lapis are the natural gold flecks inside it. The power of Lapis is very strong; insight, truth and awareness are all the healing properties of this gemstone."
