In a world overflowing with fast fashion and mass-produced accessories, more people are seeking products that feel personal, intentional, and ethically made. Unearthed Gemstones was created for exactly this purpose. Founder Teri Kotantoulas believes that jewelry and candles should carry meaning—not simply be manufactured for quantity. Her work is driven by energy, emotion, and authenticity.
Every gemstone used in her pieces is carefully and ethically sourced. There are no synthetic stones or artificial dyes unless explicitly disclosed. This commitment to purity preserves the natural beauty and energetic resonance of each gem. Wearing a piece from Unearthed Gemstones feels different because it is different—it’s crafted with care, consciousness, and respect for the Earth.
Teri’s background as a Licensed Esthetician and Reiki Master adds another layer of depth to her creations. Before a piece leaves her hands, she channels healing Reiki energy into it. This practice is centuries old and is known for helping balance emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Many customers report feeling grounded, calm, or uplifted when wearing her jewelry or lighting her candles.
Another distinguishing element of Unearthed Gemstones is the infusion of Greek cultural symbolism. Designs featuring the Greek evil eye, Komboloi beads, and other heritage-inspired motifs carry with them a lineage of protection and mindfulness. These aren’t just accessories—they’re talismans of intention and tradition.
The candle collection perfectly complements the jewelry line. Teri crafts each candle with a soy/coconut wax blend and scents derived from natural sources. Genuine gemstones are placed inside each candle, matching the energy of the aroma. Once the candle is finished, the vessel can be reused, allowing its beauty and purpose to continue.
More than products, Unearthed Gemstones offers a mindful experience. It invites you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and surround your life with objects that carry meaning and healing energy. In a world of disposable goods, these pieces stand out as treasures meant to last—physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
