Here at.. Akoni Creations... we produce a unique variety of handmade individual pieces, jewellery, cards, journals, bottle bags, canvasses etc. We endeavour to use as many recycled pieces in our goods as possible; stones, wood, bamboo, shells, beads and many others (all cleaned and sanitised). However, our jewellery findings are all new, for health and safety reasons. To our jewellery, where possible we add Lava beads -  Lava is a light, porous rock, formed from the liquid magma expelled from erupting volcanoes. It is said to be a grounding stone, calming but also giving intense energy to the wearer. Because of Lava's lightweight properties, wonderful textured beads are manufactured and because of its porous texture, it is wonderful as a diffuser for our favourite Essential Oil .Postage is free of charge. We offer a refund policy if your purchase is not to your liking and you return your item with two weeks of purchase. We hope you enjoy any purchase that you make....we certainly enjoy the challenge of making unique, pieces for the individual who enjoys something different.......Polly (Akoni Creations) xx
