Dara Jane Loomis

Ever since I was a little girl in Sherbrooke, Quebec, I loved jewellery and decided when I was grown up, I would have lots and lots. At 23, when I was a Fashion Buyer in Montreal, I realized that buying costume jewellery every season to go with the new trends was not a good investment, so I began saving my money to work with a gold manufacturer to create my own designs. A hobby I continued for 25 years. A little later on, a friend of mine introduced me to the Gem & Mineral Shows and it changed my life. I fell in love with the natural crystals from Mother Earth and began studying their metaphysical and healing properties, as well as appreciating their seemingly endless array of colour combinations and beauty. My studies led me on a path of healing myself from severe emotional trauma and eventually to teach courses on Crystal Consciousness. To this day, I surround my home with crystals and always have them with me during meditations. When I ended my Fashion Career, I began designing my own semi-precious necklaces and bracelets. Why not have something real that not only benefits the body with its vibratory energy but never loses its value? Gradually, my hobby expanded into selling at Shows, to friends and on the internet through my websites: darajanejewellery.com & darajanejewellery.patternbyetsy.com Now that I have moved to Souris, I hope to expand my horizons to new venues of opportunity.
