“THIS JEWELRY IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL, IT IS ALIVE!
“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new earrings! I love the color, the texture, I love the way the color changes when the sun hits them, I love the way they make me feel deeply content and connected to myself. They are my favorites and supplant the beach glass favorites I have been wearing for the last 5 years. Thank you for creating such beautiful jewelry. With gratitude,”

“I received my first necklace made by Shaula for my 30th birthday. I immediately felt a strong connection to the stones we selected. Three years later I still wear that necklace almost everyday and continue to get raving comments on it wherever I go. I often hold the stones and marvel at how beautiful and smooth they are. It amazes me to think about Shaula crafting these stones by hand. She’s an incredible artist, and I love wearing my stones.”
“I’VE WORN MY STONES PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY FOR THE  PAST SEVEN YEARS. SHAULA HAS A GIFT!” ~ROSALEE DE LA FORET
“SHAULA’S MANITOU BEADS ARE NOT JUST ORDINARY JEWELRY. THE LOVE AND ENERGY IN HER WORK HAS BECOME TOUCHSTONES IN OUR LIVES. HER NECKLACES HAVE CARRIED MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY THROUGH DISEASE, PUBERTY, CHILDHOOD FEARS, TRANSITIONS, PREGNANCY AND BIRTH. WE HAVE GIVEN HER NECKLACES TO OTHERS GOING THROUGH TRYING TIMES IN THEIR LIVES, OR FOR CELEBRATORY OCCASIONS. IT IS ALWAYS AN HONOR AND EXCITEMENT TO WEAR HER BEADS.”

 “I think Shaula is a naturally endowed artist. I was in need of some specific medicine for the transitions I was experiencing in my life, and I wanted some intentional assistance for the soul work I was doing. Shaula and her jewelry came highly recommended by many women and friends of mine, who at one time had sought her out for a similar purpose. I contacted Shaula and gave her the details of my situation and what I was specifically wanting and needing. Her extensive knowledge of stones and their healing powers, coupled with her strong intuition of what you need and what will look brilliantly beautiful are rare and impressive talents as an artist. She created a unique necklace for me that I absolutely love to wear for many reasons. I truly admire her wisdom, talent, and energy.”

“Shaula is an earth spirit artisan and inspired instrument through which these wondrous elemental forms reveal themselves.
Her work is, all at once, medicine, ornament; grounding, connecting.
Like so many of nature’s wonders, no two are alike.”

“I have been wanting one of Shaula’s unique necklaces for several years now, and for my birthday this year, my husband gave me a gift certificate.  I contacted Shaula and told her the colors I am attracted to and also what energies I wanted to have working with me via the stones themselves.  She was able to combine all those requests and create an absolutely beautiful necklace that was custom fit.  The minute I put it on I swear I could feel the calming and nourishing effect of the stones!  It feels so good to wear….I wish I hadn’t waited so long to purchase one!  Well worth every penny.  Just gorgeous!”
~Tania Gonzalez Ortega“THESE STONES ARE NOT ONLY GORGEOUS,,  THEY ARE SENSUAL, UNIQUE, AND POWERFUL. SHAULA HAS SUCH A GREAT EYE FOR COMBINING THEM!”

“I have had the honor of wearing several necklaces from Manitou Beads.  Not only are they aesthetically gorgeous, but the deeper qualities of the stones themselves have given me strength in my personal journey.  I love wearing something that is so naturally beautiful.”

~ Cameron Green“MANITOU BEADS ARE SOUL CANDY! WHEN ANOTHER PERSON IS WEARING THEM I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THE PEACEFUL FEELING I GET FROM GAZING ON THEIR NATURAL AND ARTISTIC BEAUTY. WHEN I AM WEARING THEM I AM FILLED WITH THEIR ENERGETIC PRESENCE. SOUL CANDY. THAT’S GOOD FOR YOU!
