Bessie Blount ~ Restore ~

$50.00

A pioneering physical therapist, inventor, and scientist.  After leaving school in sixth grade, she later earned her GED, studied nursing, and became one of the few Black physical therapists of her time.  During World War II, Bessie worked in veterans’ hospitals, helping wounded soldiers regain independence—often teaching amputees to use their feet for daily tasks.

Seeing the need for better medical tools, she invented a motorized feeding device that allowed patients to feed themselves by biting down on a tube, patented it in 1951, and the French government later adopted it for use in military hospitals. Bessie also created a disposable cardboard emesis basin, still used in Belgian hospitals today.

Later, she built a second career in forensics, becoming the first American woman trained at Scotland Yard’s Document Division. Bessie went on to consult for police departments, research medical graphology, and advocate for equal rights.  SALUTE!!!

Restore is a handcrafted piece of jewelry made with 10mm Alabaster Jade, Aquamarine, Clear Quartz, and Hematite with Silver accents.

The perfect piece to complement any outfit.

Alabaster Jade is believed to lessen the fear of the wearer, and help them resolve their disturbance and problems.

Aquamarine is believed to be a “Soothing Stone” that reduces stress, anxiety, and fear, while promoting emotional balance, clear thinking, and self-expression.

Crystal Quartz is believed to clear the mind, body and spirit of clutter; drown out any noise from the outside world; and aid in channeling your thoughts onto one specific thing.

Hematite is believed to stimulate concentration and focus; enhance memory and original thought; and use its magnetic qualities to balance the body and stabilize the equilibrium.
