Consciousness isn't usually the first thing that I associate with jewelry, for baubles have been-- for the most part -- associated with affluence and allure. However, after coming across a jewelry line that-- in the words of founder and designer, Carolyn Rafaelian-- creates a stronger sense of purpose through powerful, meaningful, and spiritual elements, I've come to see that glamour and awareness can successfully coexist in the form of Alex and Ani's jewelry and accessories:
