Justin Bortz, gemologist, designer and owner of Justin Bortz New World Jeweler, hosts Brandi Jones, a gifted aura reader, from noon to 5 p.m., on Fridays. Readings are by donation, and last between 15 and 30 minutes. No appointment is necessary. Light refreshments are served.

 

During the aura reading, Bortz often brings out various loose stones and gems which may affect the chakras, or energy centers, within a person in a positive way. If desired, jewelry made from these stones can be commissioned, designed and created specifically for the wearer.

 

This process provides the opportunity to connect more deeply with oneself, and with stones and gems, and to participate in a creative process potentially resulting in a piece of jewelry that is both beautiful and empowers the wearer with a sense of power and well-being.

 Following a double brain surgery, Jones found herself partially blind, but with a gift of seeing color around a person’s body that relates to their physical, emotional and spiritual expression. Bortz, using intuition, experience and study, creates rings, pendants, bracelets, earrings, mother’s rings, ceremonial rings and engagement rings, using a variety of stones and metals, including sterling silver, 18 karat gold, yellow, white, green or rose gold and platinum. 

 

Aura Inspired Design Parties are available at a client’s chosen location.
