tula.
based in portland, oregon tula is a collaboration by artist/ jeweler josie hannah schmidt & metal smith jerry dale campbell. josie holds a b.a. in eastern religions from columbia university and a doctorate from the national college of naturopathic medicine. while earning her medical degree, she came to an appreciation of the various energetic and healing properties of rocks. honoring the integrity of the stones, josie believes that what a traditional gem cutter would consider a "flaw" often enhances the aesthetic and energetic properties of her stones.

Hi Josie..Are you still practicing Naturopathic Medicine (I'm a former client)? Can you send me an update at deborahkor@gmail.com. The jewelry is beautiful by the way!
