They were born from three things.

First, inspiration came from a stone I received as a gift from Japan’s shores, full of different holes – some even holding little shells. While some might find stones like these unsettling, I find them fascinating. Here in Lithuania, finding a pebble with a hole is somehow rare, so there’s even a belief that finding it brings good luck.

Second, I have a thing for stones. I mean, is there anyone who hasn’t had that experience? Walking along a beach, picking up a stone that somehow catches your eye, feeling its weight and texture. Maybe you put it in your pocket, maybe toss it into the water, or stack it to make a tower.

And third, as a lover of incense, I’m always searching for the perfect incense burner. With my collection growing, I ran into an issue: pressed incense sticks come in varying thicknesses, which don’t always fit into one hole. One day, looking at that stone from Japan, I realized that it could be that perfect holder.

So, these pebbles are many things:
One-of-a-kind stones, washed up from the sea.
A stress relief stone – there’s something incredibly soothing about touching them.
A lucky charm.
And an almost universal incense holder.
