About Groovy Yogi Jewelry

Message from Crys Rivers:

Like many artistic types, I dabbled in many different mediums before finding the one that was an adequate vehicle for expressing the ideas that come to me at all hours. Silversmithing came about following a trip to New Mexico, when I was fortunate enough to meet an artisan willing to share enough knowledge to get me started on my journey. Soon after coming home, I found some wonderful classes at a shop called Flame-Kissed Beads that sadly did not make it through the recession. However, its impact on the artistic community continues to be felt - this I know from the many artists who still discuss what they discovered in workshops there.

I was a little shocked when people began asking me to sell my designs; even more so when people began asking for multiples. I quickly learned that I do not like replicating my prototypes, so I found a great casting house in New York to create molds of my work and cast it in silver. I still finish every piece myself, including stone settings. You'll notice that I mostly display pendants here - think of it as my favorite medium for expression!

Over time, I began to realize that designs inspired by my love for yoga sold much better than others. Customers have commented that it feels like so much love and genuine inspiration is attached to the yoga designs. And they are right! I am a lifelong student of yoga, discovering new aspects of the practice and philosophy with every passing day. My designs are often the artistic expression of where I am in my own pursuit of enlightenment.

I hope you enjoy the pieces you see here. Please write and let me know your thoughts!

Namaste,
Crys

Recent Work

Groovy Yogi Jewelry is entirely inspired by yoga in its various forms - practical and philosophical. Below are just a few examples of the pieces we produce. Some are production pieces, orderable in large quantities. Others were made one time only or as limited edition pieces.

People often ask how we decide which category jewelry will fall into - one of a kind, limited edition or production jewelry.

One of a kind pieces are either custom creations for a client or they were made with such unique qualities or using techniques that it would be difficult to replicate.

Limited edition pieces are made with the intention that only small quantities ever be made, either because they signify a special occasion or utilize a time-consuming fabrication technique.

We give a lot of thought to the pieces we place in production, making sure that they have the potential to be someone's significant everyday piece and can be produced in suitable quantities - despite the hand finishing we do on the back end. Of course, we sometimes retire pieces after they have been in production for awhile.

And finally there are the signature Groovy Yogi pieces, which are not sold anywhere. They are given freely to those who seek training or retreat through Groovy Yogi, as well as to those people who demonstrate qualities of a truly Groovy Yogi with service to the world around them.

Groovy Yogi retires some designs after they have been on the market for awhile. Just as fashionable clothing
has a natural lifespan, so do jewelry designs. Although some pieces will always be classics . . . and may come back around in
some version of its former self!

"I went to Asheville this weekend and everywhere I went people were asking me who made such beautiful jewelry for me. Remember when I grabbed a handful of your business cards? I handed every one of them out. I cannot believe how many compliments I get when I wear the pieces I've bought from you!" - A.B., Cary, NC
