The work of healing is often invisible.No one sees the moments you pause, breathe, and choose a different thought.No one sees the softness you’re learning to offer yourself.No one sees the roots growing deeper beneath the surface.But you feel it.And that’s what matters most.This is the story behind Centering Pendants—the story of losing my way, finding small anchors, and building a life from the inside out.I hope my story inspires you.Keep choosing yourself again and again.You’re already on your way home.Bring a companion with you. by @centeringpendants

Jñāna mudra is a meditation gesture associated with awareness and knowing.Centering Pendants are designed so your body can access that gesture naturally, without effort or instruction.This isn’t about learning something new.It’s about remembering what your hands already know. by @centeringpendants

I walked into that class with an agenda.Everyone else was there to make a lentil bead. Two little silver domes, convex, meeting in the middle. Sweet. Beginner-friendly. Not what I came for.I’d been driving around for months with a whole vision in my head. Pulled up to a red light one day, hands on the wheel, and noticed my thumb and finger had drifted together into jñāna mudra on their own. And I thought, what if a necklace could do that. What if the shape of the thing pulled your fingers into the mudra every time you reached for it.So I signed up for a metal clay class and asked the teacher to help me build the exact opposite of the bead. Concave, not convex. An opening in the middle instead of a seam. She was very gracious about it.I wore that first rough one every single day and when I reached for it, it reminded me that I am capable of anything and finally, I started believing me.January 2017. Haven’t stopped since.That first ugly pendant is why I’m standing in a booth this week. Come find me at the Ann Arbor Art Fair through Saturday, July 18th, booth ST513. Try one on and see what your fingers do. 👌Or get yours at centeringpendants.com#annarborartfair #annarborartfair2026 #centeringpendants #festivallife by @centeringpendants

Let me explain the “sewerposting…”A few days ago, my “Pretty Good Year,” tree ring Centering Pendant was compared to … a butthole.(And that’s fine with me because the reel has over 1.2M views now.)So, I left the butthole comment…Butt 😉 I deleted the comment that tagged “twilight sewerposting,” which I’m assuming is just a gag group on facebook finding things to laugh about in regards to butt jokes??? I had to google it… (it appears to have something to do with the Twilight movie series too). You’re welcome to explain this to me like I’m 5 in the comments. I’m okay with one butthole joke, but inviting a group of people to double down on the comparison seemed like a sketchy idea.For the record, this is a tree ring design and it’s intentionally formed to make use of an ancient, sacred gesture known as jñāna mudrā or gyan mudra.Just like the okay symbol 👌🏻 when you reach for this pendant, your fingers automatically slide to the center and touch, forming this mudra. It’s a no-brainer way to be prompted to pause, breathe, and reCenter yourSelf.Thanks for all the new follows 🙏🏻 pendants are available via the l!nk in my b!o. Happy to answer any questions you may have. by @centeringpendants

Jokes aside, this is about a sacred hand gesture called jñāna mudrā or gyan mudra.I used to teach yoga and was inspired by the idea of carrying a reminder with you to form this gesture and center yourself in seconds, any time you need it.All of my pendants are concave on the front and back with an opening in the center to guide your fingers into jñāna mudrā every time you reach for it.And we’ve all reached for our jewelry in times of need. Stress, anxiety, worry, sadness, despair…A centering pendant doesn’t fix these things but it does bring you back into your body and ground you into the present moment.This mudrā is about wisdom and connection. Imagine that every time you make this gesture you’re reconnecting with your highest sense of self, a higher power, God, any way you like to think of it…It’s a pause that allows for space between a trigger and your reaction.Maybe it’s portal to a different dimension where real change is possible.I have a sense of humor too but let’s not forget that mudrās are ancient wisdom that held so much truth, that the knowledge has lasted for thousands of years. I’m an artist (with a sense of humor), divinely inspired to create something everyone needs: a way back hOMe.Comment ‘mudra’ and I’ll DM you a way to claim yours now. by @centeringpendants

I know I’m not supposed to pick a favorite “child” but I definitely have pendants that I wear more than others because their meaning really speaks to me.But, they all do the same thing: concave front and back, an opening in the middle, so the second you reach for it your fingers find center and you’re back in your body. Centered in seconds.These are the ones I keep coming back to. The full collection is at CenteringPendants.com, for whenever one of them won’t leave you alone.Swipe through and let me know which one resonates with you. by @centeringpendants

What’s your ADHD superpower?I know I’m not alone here…I’m feeling proud of the way the new earring holders turned out but I’m considering staining the earring cards a dark brown to match the round earring holders.What do you think?We got home late last night and are now recovering from Ann Arbor Art Fair. 😅Our next Art Fair is in Bethesda, Maryland and then Weaverville, NC, but not ‘til September.But, if you’re local, come find me at Art Gallery on Pendleton Square 7/21 11-5 and 7/23 11-5. 150 Exchange St. Pendleton SC. by @centeringpendants

I love talking about my mindful jewelry and jnana/gyan mudra. I will talk about it to literally everyone. But by day three of being in my booth for 12hr days of being the calm, grounded, wise one, my inner child is like, “I’m bored.”And then the booth comes down, the car door shuts, and I’m like “turn up the music!”A 12hr drive home is long but it’s also good for decompression. An Ellie Goulding playlist and nobody watching.So if you passed a woman on I-75 in a very full Honda doing whatever this is, no you didn’t.What’s your crazy car dancing playlist? by @centeringpendants

Simple and effective ways to practice mindfulness:1. Choose an anchor - breath, touch, Centering Pendant or sound. One thing your body can recognize without effort.2. Let a few seconds count - you don’t need a full hour of practice.3. Bring it into real life - mindfulness doesn’t have to live on a meditation cushion. It can happen anytime, even mid-conversation.4. Repeat what works - you don’t need variety. Familiarity creates self-trust and makes it easier to come back to.5. Release the idea of doing it right. Keeping it simple will keep it sustainable.👌🏻💕🙏🏻 by @centeringpendants

Wow, this is going to be good. When we googled Ann Arbor Art Fair attendance and saw 400-500,000 we got bug-eyed with disbelief. But based on the fact that the front desk person assumed I was here to attend the show and that I would have been willing to drive from South Carolina to see it, I’m starting to believe the numbers.This should be a great show. As long as I survive set up in 95+ degree heat and 75 air quality, I should be fine. I worked so hard on my booth recently and I think you will love the upgrades.Follow along to see your favorite jewelry artist in #festivallife I’m booth ST513Hours are Thursday 10-9, Friday 10-9 and Saturday 10-8.#artistlife #annarborartfair #centeringpendants by @centeringpendants
