Thank you for taking the time to visit my site and learn a little more about my journey.
A few years ago, I reached a pivotal moment in my life—a crossroads that called for a change of direction following a particularly intense chapter in my career in London. The fast-paced Fashion environment left little room for introspection and personal growth. I often found myself caught in the whirlwind of deadlines and expectations, distracted from my quest for truth and deeper meaning.

Recognising the need for a shift, I made what some might call a crazy decision to leave behind everything I had worked tirelessly to achieve. I sought solace in the tranquillity of the small island in Thailand, yearning for the calm and space to breathe that had eluded me for so long. This retreat was not just a geographical change; it marked the beginning of a profound journey of self-discovery and personal transformation.

In the quiet of nature, I turned to practices that allowed me to still my mind and connect more deeply with my inner self. One such practice was point meditation, which enabled me to focus on the simple yet intricate act of threading beads together. This seemingly humble pursuit ignited a newfound passion within me—creating stone jewellery.

As I delved deeper into this craft, I became aware of the power and significance that individual stones can hold. Initially, I approached this with scepticism, yet with each piece I crafted, I found a deeper understanding and appreciation for the unique energies and stories each stone embodies. This connection not only enriched my creative process but also played a pivotal role in my own healing journey.
Today, I am dedicated to sharing this passion with others, combining the artistry of Fashion and imagery, with the ancient wisdom of stones and Buddhism. I believe in the transformative power of jewellery not just as adornment, but as a means of self-expression and connection to something greater. Each piece I create is imbued with intention, crafted with the hope of inspiring others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and empowerment.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Each piece I create is a reflection of the beauty and truth I aim to share with the world. Let’s explore this path of creative self-expression, where you can find pieces that are not only stylish but also connect deeply with your spirit.

If you wish for a bespoke piece to assist you with certain obstacles in your life, please email me, and I will create something to help.

The only way out is in.

My Process

One of Karl Wilders pieces in its packaging box and silk pouch

If I am able to work outside in nature I will.

I start by meditating for twenty minutes to clear my mind and body. I will sometimes work to Earth frequency sounds or my singing bowl.

I thread every bead onto the silk with a positive intention. For every knot I knot, I say aloud a positive affirmation corresponding to the stone

or client's request and lock it in. I continue to do this until the design is complete. I do not use glue.

All-natural semiprecious high-grade, no dyed stones. I then wash away any negative energy in distilled water and clear Quartz crystal bath. leaving it to dry naturally in the sun with the plants.

Once dry, I place the Mala in an unbleached cotton-lined silk storage pouch inside a handmade specially designed wooden box.

For the bracelet, I may sometimes use a recycled card 24-fold Origami petal box (which I make) I will then post it to you, In biodegradable packaging with an email and tracking number.

If you have a particular melody, mantra/affirmation that you would like me to lock-in.

Please don't hesitate to ask.
