These pipes are available in three sizes and combine high-end modern design with detailed craftsmanship. Every item is hand-painted, made to order and individually sculpted in the USA. Starting at $120, stonedwarecompany.com.

2. GILDA PIPE

With a white porcelain body and hand-painted 22-karat-gold accents, these pretty and sturdy pipes are fired in reduction, in a gas kiln at high temperatures. The process creates an ever-changing array of finishes that make each piece truly one of a kind.

Some believe that different crystals have various energy-based health benefits. Citrine is said to bring generosity and to magnify and clarify personal power — it is also a neutral tone that fits well in any space.
