Not Your Ordinary Resources

Sacred Sol's Primary Component Vault

Welcome to my workbench! 

One of my favorite things about running Sacred Sol is sharing the magic behind the craft. I’ve spent years researching, testing, and finding the perfect components so that every piece I send out is beautiful, safe, and built to last.

First time visiting? Let's make sure you're in the right spot:

  • If you're here to shop finished designs: I would love to make something beautiful just for you! You can browse my fully finished, ready-to-ship gemstone lanyards and jewelry right here:
    👉 Browse My Finished Pieces

  • If you're here to create: You’re in the right place! I want to make your creative journey a little easier, so I’ve opened up my personal studio address book. Below, you'll find the exact tools, suppliers, and materials I trust to keep my designs strong, safe, and stunning.

I hope this resource list makes your day a little brighter and your crafting a little easier. Let me know if you have any questions!

You can also find my Lanyard Guide right here if you're looking into creating your own lanyard. I even share how to find the perfect lanyard length.
