I create my jewelry with intention, love, and compassion with the wearer in mind. I string each bead and tie each knot by hand. The process is special to me as it becomes my platform of creativity and takes me to a place of absolute contentment. Thank you for letting me share the light.
My name is Chanel Davidoff from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
I am a yoga instructor and medical student that wishes to find balance in life.
I got started making jewelry when I started deepening my yoga and meditation practice. I researched and read about the purpose of Mala Meditation necklaces often used by yoga practitioners for years.
I was intrigued by the therapeutic effects of wearing malas. Traditionally there are 108 beads which serve as an aid for meditation as a guide to count and repeat breaths and daily affirmations or "personal mantras”. I felt it would be special if I created my own Mala necklace to wear. I strung and knotted the beads and tassel together and fell in love with the process. It was meditative in itself. I started creating necklaces and bracelets to give to family and friends as gifts.
Eventually, I was told there was something special about receiving handcrafted jewelry. That by designing, creating, and sharing jewelry, I was sharing my light with others.

I want to encourage others to wear their jewelry with purpose and intention.
My hope is to continue to share my light with others. Create to inspire. I see myself finishing med school to become a physician who encourages healing on all levels; mind, body, and spirit. I want my jewelry to convey this same message.
I recently had the opportunity to sponsor an Instagram Yoga Challenge called “DoYougaChallange” which encourages the instagram yoga community to take a moment every day and try a pose and set an intention. The participants take a picture of the pose and Hashtag #DoYougaChallange. Eventually a winner is chosen and will receive one of my handcrafted necklaces!

Believe it or not, my tools are my hands. In creating pieces I had to learn to be very patient throughout the beading process. I don’t have any special nifty gadgets that allows me to speed up production. It's just me and my two hands!
I truly enjoy embracing the flow of stringing bracelets and necklaces.

Since my jewelry is inspired by yoga, the way I market my business is by taking photos of yoga postures with featured pieces.
Each piece is unique and one of a kind. My favorite design is the Tranquility Mala Meditation Necklace. The earthy blue green stones are associated with initiation, tranquility, and serenity. The necklace may even serve as a reminder of your personal state of bliss - whatever it may be.

I have a confession; I have an old soul. So, sometimes I really enjoy looking at vintage items. The CraftStar really highlights a lot of this.
Since I do love drinking tea, one of the items that has caught my eye is this vintage tea pot by Memory Lane shop.

Also, I really like This Hamsa Necklace by The Gypsy Road. One of my favorite symbols to wear is a Hamsa hand as it is often what is highlighted in many of my pieces.
