Honestly, I wasn’t fond of grabbing any auspicious items like trinkets until recently; I found out my inner desire to get one, two or even three. Sophie’s one of the most influential people I know who tempted me to give lucky charms and psychic reading a shot. Talking about welcoming the world of Esoteria! 
I feel unusually depressed and worried recently because of some other things happening in my life I cannot disclose. I am confident enough to say that it’s not about my love life. Ha-ha! Anyways, I am somewhat sure it’s just my hormonal imbalance—it seems like my female hormones can hardly be stopped from fluctuating. Going back, I decided to get some lucky charms for myself to mend the aggravating feeling.
One name crossed my mind—Joy Lim. She’s behind Charms and Crystals, a popular local jewelry store that uses mainly lucky charms and crystals. These stones or crystals have different functions when it comes to improving one’s chi, or life force. My personal picks are: citrine, tiger’s eye, jade and onyx.
Citrine the” Merchant Stone”. Citrine Quartz is an energizing and highly beneficial crystal. Its energies are directly related to the sun, and like the sun, its energies are invigorating and positive. It raises self-esteem and helps overcome self-destructive tendencies “A citrine in one’s cash box can produce more income for the merchant.” It not only assists the merchant in acquiring wealth but maintains wealth as well. It attracts abundance.
Tiger’s Eye stones are for clear thinking, accurate judgment, for protection and for good luck. Put on your eyes and see clearly. The Tiger’s Eye is also called the “Prosperity Stone”. It is a good emotional balancer and inspires one to achieve higher goals. It also gives better perception and insight especially in decision -making. Tiger’s eye helps us get through difficult phases with courage and determination for those moments we need these two things the most.
As the most helpful crystal, the tiger’s eye is also able to assist us in de-stressing ourselves after a long, long day at work or home. It mitigates the influence of moods during stressful situations. Tigers eye has a pain-alleviating effect. It slows down the flow of energy in the body and dampens over-excitation of the nerves and over-stimulation of the adrenal glands, giving us a general feeling of well-being.
Jade the King of all auspicious stones. Ancient Chinese people said that jade
stones can communicate with the spirits thus protects the human body, solves problems, heals sickness and drives away ominous spirits. Jade itself contains immeasurable amount of mystical powers, improves one’s fate to fulfill goals and wishes. Rich Chinese people always wear jade ornaments for over-all good luck.
Wear onyx for self protection, you may use it successfully and positively for release or to end a bothersome relationship. Ideal for counsellors for them to be protected by the negative energy problematic people have. Try one!
Buying original Charms & Crystals bracelet means selling out big bucks! One can go for as high as Php 5,000 apiece (or about $100). Looks like my newfound luck is just about to transpire since I got one for a steal of only Php 500 (about $10)!
Tadah! My first Charms & Crystals Bracelet:
*Citrine and Tiger’s Eye Bracelet with Buddha*
The citrine and tiger’s eye is a perfect combo for me. It’s like better controlling my emotions while being lucrative at the same time! I have yet to wait for it to be delivered :P. Ha-ha, by the way, here’s what they say about the red Buddha charm:
The Buddha is the ultimate symbol of joy and happiness. He is said to grant wishes and bring good tidings.
He brings wonderful prosperity and wealth luck to those engaged in any kind of business. He also blesses you with auspicious energy by taking away all your unhappiness and transforming them into happiness.
Many have said he is the guardian of the young and innocent, embracing them with his loving grace.

By next year, I’m looking forward to score an all-in-one bracelet (perfect as a Christmas-slash-New-Year’s gift for myself aside from the MACbook I’m lemming on). Right now, I’m eyeing for God of Wealth Dzi Onyx Charm and 8 Eyes Dzi with Jade which are priced at Php 3,800 each (scary).

Roanne you love me so much talaga! Hahahahahaha!
Dakilang B.I. ako, you should really try ignoring me @ YM! 
I love the dzi’s - they really really work , very worth the price! Don’t forget to program your crystals everyday! 
The one you got is pretty much a steal already! 500!
I hate you for doing that!
Joke! You know what, I decided to get something straight from Charms and Crystals. I wanna drop by at Joy Lim’s store in Dapitan sometime.
hi Roanne! vixen19 here from GT.
i actually got an all-in-one charm bracelet, thanks to Sohpie’s reco too! 
hope you’d update us on how it goes.
hi vixen. i think ive seen you already (say, during sophie’s 2nd mmu day?). i’m so lemming for the all-in-one coz I believe it’s a cheaper variety than DZIS. Dzis make me cringe on their skyscraping prices (like about 4k apiece). Anyways, I’ll try to get that all-in-one bracelet possibly next year coz this year’s about to end already. Sayang naman!
i have been using charms and crystals for three years now and i can say that is really effcitive in enhancing aura and all that.
i ask ms.joy lim for advices and it really worked for me.
Wow, that’s nice to hear from you, chekai.
Now I’m really lemming for an all-in-one bracelet right now.
