About Alyson

My love for gemstones and jewelry began in childhood, deeply inspired by my parents—especially the stories my mother would share about how she received each cherished piece. I was captivated not just by their beauty, by the feeling each gem seemed to carry. Even then, I sensed that color, design, and intention held a subtle vibrational energy.

That early fascination evolved into a lifelong passion. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of working professionally with fine gemstones and diamonds in San Francisco, specializing in luxury retail, jewelry design, and manufacturing.

Seven years ago, I began a dedicated study of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology). With a background in Buddhism, a deep spiritual curiosity, and graduate studies in psychology, I found Jyotish to be a profound science that integrates the many threads of my life.

Today, I bring together my extensive experience with gemstones and the timeless wisdom of Jyotish. My intention is to guide clients toward gemstones that truly align with their unique path. The right gemstone can support personal growth enhance strength and protection during significant or challenging planetary periods (dashas).

It is a genuine honor to help others to discover the gemstones that resonate with them and to be part of their journey toward greater balance, growth and empowerment.
