Jewelry maker and crystal enthusiast Charlie Ware has opened Aureole, a metaphysical store in Kirkwood. Aureole specializes in crystals, herbs, soaps, plants, candles, clothing and other unique gifts. It also provides local art and custom henna. Located at 1272 Dahlgren Lane SE, Unit 1281, Aureole is open Tuesdays through Fridays from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Because of the unique location, the store is easily accessible via the Beltline and MARTA.

“Aureole is a special place that prioritizes and promotes products, art and services by BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and people of color]. At Aureole, we have carefully curated beautiful collections of your favorite metaphysical needs. Our products are locally sourced and sustainable.”

Ware started Aureole in 2015 after she was gifted some tools and stones and quickly discovered her love for making jewelry. Soon, friends and family members began requesting customized pieces, and she accepted the challenge. Ever since, Ware has remained committed to providing high-quality metaphysical necessities for her community.

“I aim to inspire those versed in the art of making something out of nothing. I want to continue to provide an example of what a clear mind, a full heart and financial freedom looks like when not constricted by one’s own self. Aureole is a figment of my imagination come true.”
