Imagine wearing a jade, lapis lazuli, amethyst, or rose quartz bottle pendant that diffuses healing oil and aligns with the body’s energy centers.
Corso Como 88 recently welcomed Crystal Vials, wearable necklaces and rings with a stone pendant that can hold essential oils, perfumes, or other liquids. More than an elegant accessory, it also serves as a functional wellness tool.
Corso Como 88 owner Imelda Sciandra learned about Crystal Vials from one of her clients, who sought relief from migraines using peppermint oil. Initially using a home diffuser that freely releases the scent, she came across a talented stone carver in Hong Kong, who created beautiful pendant diffusers from precious stones. The accessory allows the healing benefits of peppermint oil anytime, anywhere.
Specific oils are associated with certain benefits. Lavender improves sleep, peppermint eases headaches, eucalyptus clears sinuses, and lemon and orange scents are known to lift the mood, while chamomile promotes relaxation.
Aside from the scent, the stones are believed to emit vibrations that target the body’s energy centers. Chakra healing represents the energy centers of the body. Meditation, yoga, breathwork, affirmations, crystals, and gemstones can help promote energy balance, release blockages, and improve mental clarity and vitality.
Apart from the healing oil, the stone material allows the release of vibrations that align with the body’s energy centers. Jade is believed to enhance harmony, balance, and abundance. Rose quartz promotes love, gentle healing, and deep connection; tiger’s eye is linked to physical energy and well-being; and lapis lazuli enhances mental clarity. The stones are imported from Brazil, Germany, and Madagascar.
By donning a Crystal Vial neckpiece or ring, wearers can benefit from the gemstone’s energy and the oil’s healing properties.
The pendants come in all colors and sizes. According to the Corso Como store owner, the Wu Lu, or bottle gourd pieces, are the most popular. This powerful Feng Shui symbol represents good health, longevity, prosperity, and protection against negative energy.
Women are drawn to all shades of red, while men prefer blue vials. They also have cute white vial pendants that are often worn by children and teens. The accessory appeals to both male and female clients, particularly those familiar with alternative healing modalities.
And while clients may have a specific gemstone in mind when they enter the store, most of the time they end up selecting another type of pendant because it simply “feels different.” “You do not choose the stone, the stone chooses you,” Imelda said, adding that there have been several instances where clients are instantly drawn to a specific stone pendant for no reason. “They cannot let go of it anymore, and so they just had to buy it,” she said.
Selecting a crystal vial pendant cannot be done in a hurry, as one must carefully examine each choice and quietly align with the vibe.
