As a self-described “purveyor of good wishes,” Anné Gangel curates positive vibes through her eponymous line of chic healing crystal jewelry ($200-$5,000, annegangel.com). What began in 2010 in a tiny studio in Denver has evolved into a celeb-loved brand with studios in Newport Beach and Los Angeles. “Ancient cultures have utilized the power of crystals to release physical, mental and spiritual blockages for years,” says Gangel. Among the eclectic offering: earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces featuring Gangel’s favorite gems—moonstone (“stone of new beginnings”), turquoise (“helps you speak your truth”) and labradorite (“stone of change and transformation”)—among others, and set in sterling silver and 14K gold, and 18K gold and platinum upon request. Here, Gangel lets us in on a few of her favorite things.
