At the young age of 16, Danna Weiss was fascinated with crystals, which inspired her to launch her own jewelry line. Her collections immediately sold at Macy’s and were featured in Seventeen and Redbook. After graduating from Syracuse University in New York, Weiss had a successful career in fashion publishing as a trend forecaster and editor. Twenty years later she developed a serious illness and began using crystals and gemstones for healing. Her passion for jewelry then came alive again and she decided to launch Conscious Jewelry on the premise that stones can heal.
