Rising model Bibi Breslin is styled by Haley Wollens in ‘Unions Libres’, a spare and modern intersection of jewelry, fashion, emotions and stone-cold eroticism.

What isn’t cold is the reminder that stones are believed to carry and transmit their own energies, driven by molecular composition — and this fashion story heavy on jewelry is narrating this delicate balance in a more folkloric voice.

Science v. Folklore

To be clear, science has not been able to confirm the energy properties and claims associated with these stones to date. However, these gemstone beliefs are deeply rooted in antiquity and even in religious traditions. And it’s possible that scientific discovery born of the human mind hasn’t yet caught up with Gaia’s design skills.

An example for Anne of Carversville of Gaia v. the scientists is ancestral memory in elephants, no longer considered to be a hocus pocus idea.
