——Our story
On a leisurely afternoon amid the bustling traffic of Sydney, Australia, Rachel and Joy Yao met by chance.With drinks in hand and a gentle warmth from the wine, they suddenly wondered: why can’t the Five Elements energy from Eastern philosophy be woven into everyday life through modern design? Not as mysterious symbols, but as wearable or placeable companions for life.
Thus, Tao Harmony was born:
Rachel, GIA jewelry designer and colored gemologist, has explored over 70 countries across seven continents. She is responsible for sourcing global crystals and capturing the unique energetic fingerprint of each gem.
Joy Yao specializes in the study of Yi Jing and Daoist philosophy. She once studied ancient energy healing methods in the Peruvian Andes and later cultivated her practice under a Daoist master at a Zen temple in Taiwan. Grounded in the cycles of generation and restraint within the Five Elements, she constructs the energetic logic matrix for each product.
A crystal necklace that helps adjust the body’s energy flow, a brass ornament that stabilizes the energy field of a space—each becomes a subtle portal for modern individuals to connect with the energy of the universe.
——Craftsmanship Process
1、Ethical Sourcing
Founder Rachel personally travels to globally recognized energy-pure mining regions, such as those in Tanzania, Brazil, and Madagascar. She senses with her palms and selects only those raw stones that create a "gentle pull" with her energy.
We deeply believe that true energy must be clean and filled with goodwill. TaoHarmony is committed to ethical traceability—“from the earth to the wrist.”We collaborate with local miners to ensure that mining does not harm the environment, involves no child labor, and gives back to local communities.
What you purchase is not just a beautiful item—it is also a kind investment in our planet and its people.
2、Infusion of Intention
From raw stone to finished piece, we reject industrialized assembly lines. Every TaoHarmony artisan works in a quiet studio, with carefully selected singing bowl music playing in the background to ensure a peaceful and focused state of mind.
During stringing or carving, each artisan performs a simple ritual of hand-cleansing and mind-centering, while silently repeating positive intentions aligned with the purpose of the piece—such as “calm,” “courage,” or “abundance.” In this way, thought is woven rhythmically into the very microstructure of the crystal through the motion of the hands.
We believe that the focused attention of the artisan is itself a precious energy, infused into each piece with every bead strung, every curve carved.
3、Unique Craftsmanship
Please take a moment to observe the bead holes. We employ a slow-speed drilling technique to prevent localized cracking and energy loss caused by high-speed friction.
Each bead functions as an independent energy unit, and the artisan’s hand-stringing process is akin to connecting energetic pathways. This ensures that energy can flow smoothly throughout the entire bracelet, forming a complete and continuous circuit—rather than scattered points of broken energy.
4、 Blessing & Completion
Once a piece is crafted, it is placed in nature at selected moments—such as during sunrise or under a full moon—to receive a final infusion of energy and blessings from the universe.
It may be laid in a tranquil forest, by a clear stream, or in other serene natural settings, allowing it to bathe in the energy field of nature and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the light of the sun and moon. This process is not merely about “charging” the crystal; it is a silent ritual of blessing, allowing the intentions embedded in the piece to resonate with the cosmos, achieving energetic wholeness and harmony.
Only then does the piece truly embody its soul and purpose, becoming a unique gift meant to accompany and protect its wearer.
——Artisan Background
1. Rigorous Internal Certification System
“Every TaoHarmony piece is crafted by our certified Energy Harmony Jewelers. To earn this title, artisans must complete an in‑house apprenticeship lasting at least 18 months. The program covers:
- Crystallography Fundamentals & Energy Property Studies: Deep study of the mineralogical characteristics of over 100 crystals and their correspondences within Five Elements philosophy.
- Traditional Eastern Stringing & Modern Jewelry Techniques: Mastery of ancient Chinese knotting arts (such as the Auspicious Knot and Pan‑chang Knot) alongside stringing, wiring, and finishing techniques that meet international jewelry standards.
- Intention‑Setting & Meditation Basics: Learning to maintain a focused, pure state during creation, infusing each piece with positive intention.
Only artisans who pass both theoretical and hands‑on assessments are qualified to imprint their unique identification number on the accompanying certificate of their work.”
2. Authoritative External Certifications
Our core team of artisans all hold internationally recognized qualifications in jewelry appraisal or design:
- Some artisans are certified gemologists or jewelry designers from the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), ensuring the most scientific understanding of materials.
- Others have been trained in metal engraving and goldsmithing at Italy’s renowned Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School & Academy, applying an attitude of extreme precision to the creation of crystal jewelry.
- We regularly invite Tibetan Thangka painters or experts in ancient Chinese jade restoration to conduct workshops, drawing inspiration from the Eastern artistic ideal of “unity of mind and hand.”
3. Unique Energy Sensitivity Training
- Beyond manual craftsmanship, our artisans undergo distinctive "energy sensitivity" training. Together with brand founder Master Lin, they participate in "blind selection tests"—while blindfolded, they rely solely on the energy sensed through their palms to match different crystals with the corresponding Five Elements needs.
- This ensures that when crafting your personalized bracelet, they are not only assembling with their hands but harmonizing with their intuition.
