My business idea is to create customised necklaces,from semi precious stones for specific therapeutic purposes- Healing,Love,Prosperity,Birthstone.It started when I became interested in the therapeutic properties of quartz crystals and semi-precious stones. I was keen to try them for myself, but I could only find bracelets, and, the odd plain necklace, with only one type of bead. I wanted a variety of stones and thougth,well why not make my own. In doing that other folk have asked me to make them one too. They just said what stones they preffered,and left the artistic design to me.My message to anyone who is thinking of starting their own business is: IF YOU HAVE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE -DO IT.
