The third eye sits between the brows. Nothing we wear sits there. Glasses do.
Why I made them
I have never loved how crystal jewelry looks. Most of it reads like a gift shop display, or like something you wear when nobody important is looking. Copper jewelry was the same story. I wanted the energy and I did not want the look.
I kept coming back to one idea. Glasses live on the bridge of the nose, at the eyes, on the exact part of the face every tradition points to when it talks about inner sight. As far as I can tell, nobody had used that to build an activation piece for the third eye.
So I designed them. First as drawings of frames that did not exist yet, then in copper, with each stone chosen for what it does and placed where it does it. The pairs you see here are the real ones.
I wanted something you would wear on a Tuesday and also on the night you do your work. Something that looks like adornment and works like ritual.
