The Story Behind SilkAndSpirit

The Story Behind SilkAndSpirit

My Story · Why I Started This Crystal Brand

My name is Silvia, 32 years old. For most of my career, things went pretty smoothly. I worked at a fast-growing tech company and climbed all the way to a management role. Life used to revolve around work, until two years ago, everything started to fall apart.

I hit the lowest point in my career, my relationship with the father of my child ended, and my dad was diagnosed with cancer. No matter how strong I thought I was, I broke down. I stopped working out, stopped dressing up, barely smiled, and couldn’t sleep through the night. The worst part? I felt lost about the future.

In a desperate search for answers, I spent lots of money trying different ways to “see” my future — from fortune tellers to tarot readers. Most of it didn’t help. One of them, though, casually suggested I try wearing crystals. She told me to look for blue crystals and strawberry quartz. I didn’t believe it would change anything, but I thought  why not give it a try?

I started looking online and was overwhelmed. Some bracelets were over $1000, while others were just $6. I later found out many of the cheap ones were artificially made, and even harmful to wear. So I went straight to the source — natural crystal suppliers — and bought some beads to make my own bracelet.

I didn’t expect much, honestly. But something happened.

Every time I looked down at my wrist, the shimmer of those natural stones caught my eye. Each bead was a little different. Some had flaws, but they felt… real, alive. Blue calmed me. The soft red of strawberry quartz gave me a little push to keep going. I slowly started caring for myself again. I began to smile. I even started showing up for life again.

That was the beginning of my love for crystals. I started reading, learning about different stones, their energy, and their meaning. When I had a business pitch, I’d wear something grounding. When I needed peace, I’d wear something soft. Even going to a café, I’d wear rose quartz and hope for a little serendipity. Crystals gave me something to believe in again, something beautiful and comforting.

I made bracelets for my kid, my parents, and friends. The joy on their faces made me realize, maybe this could be more than a hobby. Maybe it could be a brand. A way to share not just crystals, but a little hope and healing with others going through tough times too.


What We Believe In

🌿 Natural only.

Everything I use is 100% natural crystal — no glass, no dye, no fakes. Most people can’t tell the difference online, so I’ve gone out of my way to source from trusted factories, test samples, and make sure what you’re wearing is real. If it’s not what you expected, you can send it back. No stress.

Quality matters.

Not every natural crystal is perfect, that’s part of the charm. But we carefully select the best we can find: beautiful, rare, and full of life. We also use only high-quality metals for our accents and spacers. Still, I want my pieces to be affordable, so more people can enjoy them, not just collectors.

💫Why bracelets?

Because when it’s on your wrist, you see it. You feel it. That energy is yours to carry every day. We might offer other products later, but bracelets are my favorite and I think you’ll love them too.

🎨 One of a kind.

Natural stones are already unique, and we design each bracelet to be just as special. No mass production. If you want a custom design, let us know. we also offer starter pieces if you’re just getting into crystals, all carefully chosen and tested for quality.


We Take Care of Your Crystal Like It’s Ours

  • Every bracelet is cleansed before shipping. Want a video of the cleansing? Just ask.
  • Each order comes with a care card, cleansing kit, polishing cloth, and alcohol pad.
  • We ship worldwide within 1–3 working days. You’ll get tracking info right away.
  • Not happy with what you received? Contact us within 7 days — returns are easy and stress-free.

 

We design not only for style, but for spirit.

Every piece is handcrafted with care and intention. We blend natural crystals, thoughtful color harmony, and emotional themes like grounding, clarity, self-love, or inner strength.

We don’t believe crystals are magic.

We believe you are.

And beauty, when worn with intention, simply reminds you of that.


Welcome to a space where healing meets artistry.

Where crystals are not just worn — but felt.

Where beauty is a language, and energy is a choice.

✨ Why “SilkAndSpirit”?

Because we believe in the quiet power of contrast —

the softness of silk, and the strength of spirit.

Silk represents flow, harmony, and the subtle textures of the world we touch.

Spirit carries the unseen — energy, intention, and the way something feels beyond its form.

Together, SilkAndSpirit is about balance.

About beauty that grounds you.

About design that speaks not only to the eye, but to the inner self.

This is jewelry not just for wearing, but for remembering who you are becoming.


To me, this isn’t just a business. It’s my way of sharing a little healing, a little light, and a reminder that even in dark times, we deserve something beautiful.

If you’re going through a hard time — feeling lost or in pain — send me an email. I’ll send you a free bracelet. It’s my way of saying: you’re not alone.
