After the recent cyber incident Royal Mail have now resumed their international services.   Royal Mail now states:  "Delivery of International items may take slightly longer than usual and customers using Tracked services may notice different tracking information as items leave the UK."   Please note:  Domestic (UK) services are not affected.   As always, thank you for your patience and understanding.   Blessings, Caryl

As mentioned on this website in Shipping/Postage & Packaging, and in Terms & Conditions - Delivery, I use Royal Mail for all my shipping requirements.   Unfortunately Royal Mail has experienced a cyber incident that has caused disruption to international services.   Please note:  Domestic (UK) services are still fully operational. I will continue to accept international orders, however please understand that dispatch of these orders will be delayed until

I’ve put a lot of time into making an important decision about the Charms Of Light™ business.  It’s been a difficult thing to do, but I’ve always made a promise to myself to only keep doing what brings me joy, and that means there will be some changes.   Creating healing jewellery is a great love of mine and I am very passionate about it, so obviously I will continue this.  I will also continue teaching Reiki, doing guidance readings, and gemstone

Quality Gemstones I have always been very fussy about the quality of the gemstones I use in the jewellery I design for Charms Of Light™, and in the crystal carvings I sell.   When I purchase my gemstone beads, I get them in bulk so that I have enough to play and design with over a long period of time.  This means that stocks of some of my gemstone beads have lasted for years!   I get my gemstone carvings in bulk as well, to make sure there is enough

Although it was only a couple of months ago that I updated my shipping rates, unfortunately I have had to make some new adjustments for airmail to the EU and World Zones 1, 2 & 3.     I use UK Royal Mail for all my postal deliveries. Unfortunately the Covid situation and Brexit is still causing some delays to airmail deliveries in some countries, and I have received a few complaints.  While I wish I could do something about these delays, they are really

I received the following email from a customer recently:…     “Have you ever met anyone who has a negative, immediate physical reaction to seeing Amber? I find I cannot look at it, it hurts my head and makes me feel sick. I remember this happening even as a child. Curious to know if you’ve ever heard that, or know what it would mean?” Amber is a powerful healer and cleanser, although it is actually a resin, not a stone.   Similar

Am I the only one who reads the terms and conditions on websites before purchasing something?  Maybe it’s because I have a website of my own, although I don’t think so.     When I purchase something online I always check the terms and conditions and the returns policy, just in case something doesn’t look like I expect, or doesn’t fit etc.  If I want to buy something that is going to be worn, I want to know that I can return it if it

I’ve had a lot of enquiries over the years about which crystals are helpful for fertility, pregnancy and childbirth.  In that time, I’ve created many special custom made Birthing Charms, Fertility Pendants, Fertility Bracelets, and Labour & Birth Bracelets  - like these .....              A couple of weeks ago I wrote about menopause crystals so I thought it was high time I should write about
