"People go through many chapters in their life, whether it’d be heartbreak, falling in love, new career, illness, you name it. Stones give off a subtle energy each in its own unique way. The energy given off by a crystal is determined by the internal structure and the vibrations that are specific to that structure. I wanted to bring that knowledge to people so they too can use them in their life’s chapters and manifestation purposes."
My love for crystals and Jewelry started as a child. I have always loved to collect stones and crystals, and everywhere we went I made sure to bring one home and a charm for my charm bracelet. It was something my dad and I did together as he too had an attraction to them. I used to just give stones or crystals to people with an explanation why. I am not sure how I knew what the stones did, but I just had this inner feeling and intention to give the stones to those people. I have also always used crystals to help boost me in the times I needed them.
As for the jewelry, I started making jewelry as a very young child. My Mom and Grandma taught me how to sew at a young age and got me into variations of weaving, cross stitching, knitting, and creating jewelry. My Great Grandma used to embroider clothing with pearls and beads. This has been in my life and a skill that has been passed down from my Great Grandma, to my Grandma, to my mom and her sisters, and the daughters. Creating jewelry and embroidering with beads have always been a passion of mine and a family skill passed down to me.
Over the years I always knew I wanted to get into Fashion Design, and would spend hours upon hours drawing and making the creations I would draw out. I did attempt to go into Fashion Design and Communications. However, I ended up on another path. I got into hair, hair, of course, is another skill and passion. Then in 2006, my mom suggested I got into Business/Marketing and consider opening my own salon and have another designation to fall back on.
For years after that, I shuffled from working in a Marketing setting while working part-time in salons. I also had a little side hustle during those years selling DIY creations, jewelry or hairpieces I made. I made many memories, learned many skills, and the best part made relationships along the way. In 2012 I became pregnant with my son and started staying home more. I had more time to get back into my Zen passion for art and design. Then in 2015 after owning Salon Reform, I decided it was time to retire to focus on a new chapter in life.
Now I live on the road full-time while being based out of St.Albert, Alberta, Canada. I am a jewelry maker, crystal enthusiasts, and knowledge sharer. If you want to learn more about me, my stories, and travels, please visit kerridawn.com.
