About Francine R.

Jewelry Designer • Yoga Educator • Skincare Curator • Mother • Creative • Community Connector
 

I’m Francine, a jewelry designer based in the Finger Lakes region of Ithaca, NY, where nature, family, and community inspire everything I create. As a proud member of the Latinx community, a mother of four, and wife to a wonderful man, my life and work are rooted in connection—to culture, the Earth, spirit, and the people around me.
 

Jewelry is the heart of my creative expression. Each piece is designed with intention and care, featuring natural gemstones selected for their energetic properties and beauty. I believe jewelry can hold more than adornment—it can serve as a grounding talisman, an expression of personal power, or a meaningful reminder of what matters most. Inspired by the landscapes, animals, and rhythms of the Finger Lakes, my work is created to support healing, connection, and personal transformation.
 

In addition to jewelry, I offer a line of all-natural body care products made with high-quality, skin-loving ingredients. This collection was born from my own desire for nourishing self-care products that are clean, effective, and a joy to use. From organic soaps and sugar scrubs to rich body creams and fragrant botanical oils, each product is created to bring a sense of ritual and beauty to everyday care. These offerings are designed for those who want to feel good in their skin—naturally, luxuriously, and without compromise.
 

I am also an E-RYT 500 and YACEP certified yoga teacher. Through free, online Shakti-based yoga classes rooted in my knowledge of the subtle body from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, I offer a sacred space for people to reconnect with their bodies and inner wisdom. Rooted in the principles of feminine power, my classes emphasize intuitive movement, grace, strength, and emotional resilience. These sessions are open to all and are especially dedicated to supporting marginalized and underserved communities. Yoga is my way of giving back—of holding space for collective healing, empowerment, and awakening.
 

At the heart of all my work is a simple belief: a more mindful and aware world is a better world—for all of us. Whether through gemstone adornment, soulful movement, or self-care rituals, my mission is to help others feel radiant, grounded, and fully alive in their truth.
