The Story Behind Sentimental Gems
Sentimental Gems is the signature collection of Kerri Jarrett Designs, and like many meaningful things, it began behind the chair.
For over two decades, I’ve worked as a stylist and now as a certified trichologist specializing in epigenetics and stress awareness. Trichology is the science of hair and scalp health, but at its core, it’s also a study of how our bodies respond to stress, change, and emotion. Every strand tells a story. Over the years, I’ve seen how deeply connected the scalp, the nervous system, and self-awareness truly are.
That connection led me deeper into the science of epigenetics, the study of how our environment, thoughts, and behaviours influence how our genes express themselves. In simple terms: what we think, feel, and focus on can affect how our body functions. That’s not “energy talk.” That’s biology.
Through both science and lived experience, I began to see that epigenetics and intention setting are two sides of the same truth: what we focus on, we reinforce. When we consciously set an intention, whether it’s to heal, to find calm, or to move forward, we’re communicating safety and clarity to the body. We’re giving our nervous system new instructions.
That’s why self-awareness is such a powerful tool. When we slow down long enough to notice what we need and choose to direct our attention with care, we change more than our mindset, we change our chemistry. It’s a practice that blends the measurable with the meaningful.
With my Celtic and Slavic roots, the practice of intention setting has always felt familiar, like remembering something ancient. For generations, my ancestors used oathing stones in ritual to seal promises and mark transitions. It’s this same practice that inspired Sentimental Gems, small talismans designed to help us anchor what matters most.
Whenever a client was navigating a life change, I’d offer a handful of crystals, or if time allowed, create a small piece of jewelry just for them, a token to carry their intention forward. Those simple gestures became something more. Clients began sharing how these pieces helped them feel steady, supported, and seen, and soon, they were asking me to create them for loved ones, colleagues, and friends.
Before long, my “unconventional gift-giving” had grown into something bigger, a jewelry line built on meaning. Sentimental Gems became a way to turn moments into keepsakes, and to remind us that intention, when held close, can change how we move through the world.
Today, Sentimental Gems continues that legacy, blending energy awareness, emotional intelligence, and the timeless tradition of oathing stones into wearable reminders of connection and calm.
Because sometimes, the smallest token carries the deepest meaning.
