Opulence

Opulence

Light. Devotion. Grace.

Opulence is an adornment created as a sacred offering to beauty and intention. Clear beads, authentic Mother of Pearl, Swarovski crystals, and delicately wire wrapped crystal accents come together in harmony, each element chosen for its ability to reflect light, clarity, and quiet wisdom.

Mother of Pearl carries the energy of protection and nurturing, while crystal elements amplify intention and awareness. Together, they create a luminous presence meant to be felt as much as seen.

This piece is crafted with delicacy and care. To honor its energy and construction we recommend removing Opulence before showering.

Wear Opulence as a reminder that refinement can be sacred, and devotion to beauty is a form of reverence.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WAIST

1. Gather your materials: Get a flexible measuring tape. If you don't have one, you can use a string or a piece of ribbon and then measure it against a ruler.
2. Find the right spot: Locate your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso, above your belly button and below your ribcage. Stand up straight and relax your stomach muscles. Measure on bare skin.
3. Wrap the tape around your waist: Hold one end of the measuring tape at your belly button and wrap it around your waistline. Make sure the tape is parallel to the ground and snug against your skin without being too tight or too loose.
4. Take the measurement: Once the tape is wrapped around your waist, take note of the measurement where the end of the tape meets the rest of it. Ensure the tape is level all the way around your waist.
5. Check the measurement: Record the measurement in inches not centimeters.
6. Double-check for accuracy: For accuracy, measure your waist a couple of times to ensure consistency. If you're using a string, measure it against a ruler to get the exact measurement.

7. Now pick your waist bead size:  If you measured and got 34 inches, we suggest you add an inch. So your size in waist beads would be 35.
